A substantial body of research, including seminal Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) studies, confirms the high prevalence of significant trauma exposure among youth involved in the juvenile justice system. This reality necessitates a paradigm shift from traditional punitive models to a trauma informed framework. Adopting such an approach is not a permissive stance but a strategic imperative for fulfilling the dual mandates of public safety and youth rehabilitation. This module provides the foundational knowledge required to navigate this complex landscape effectively, examining the critical balance between accountability and trauma-responsiveness.
