Interventions for Child and Adolescent Who Engaged in Crime: A Scoping Review
Abstract
This scoping review was conducted to examine which therapy-based interventions have been implemented for children involved in crime over the last decade. This retrospective study involved the analysis of articles published between 2015 and 2025. The study data were collected in January 2025 by searching one international and one national database. Studies conducted with juvenile delinquency and therapy interventions were included. A total of 18 studies were evaluated in detail. The analysis revealed that 50% (n=9) of the interventions for juvenile delinquency in the last decade were conducted in the USA. Furthermore, it was observed that 55.6% (n=10) of these interventions were a quasi-experimental design, while 55.6% (n=10) constituted follow-up study. The analysis revealed that 38.9% (n=9) of the articles contained information about mental disorders, 72.2% (n=13) contained information about crimes. While a wide range of interventions (functional family therapies, aggression replacement therapies, animal-assisted therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy-based trainings) were applied to children, the most frequently applied interventions were family therapy (55.6%, n=10) and structured training/counselling interventions (33.3%, n=6). This scoping review revealed that interventions for children-adolescent were predominantly implemented in the USA and characterized by a quasi- experimental approach. It was further noted that the interventions exhibited significant variation, with a wide range of therapeutic approaches, particularly family therapy, and included information about crime and mental health. In the rehabilitation process of children with delinquency, there is a clear necessity for evidence-based, comprehensive, culturally and legally procedures.
