Abstract
Over the past two decades, criminological scholars have increasingly sought to determine “what works” to control crime and delinquency and whether these approaches should vary by gender. In fact, the 1992 reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act called for research designed to determine the needs of delinquent girls in particular, and to develop strategies to address these needs.
