Abstract

Childhood traumatic stress is predictive of delinquency in adolescence, the severity of delinquent offenses, and the likelihood of reoffending. Over the past decade, the Juvenile Justice Section of North Carolina's Department of Public Safety has advanced from trauma-informed toward trauma-responsive care. Efforts taken and lessons learned are presented.
