One of the most successful treatments for violent juvenile delinquents is called Multisystemic Therapy (MST). MST is a comprehensive, family and community-based treatment approach that addresses the various factors that contribute to delinquent behavior, including family dynamics, peer relationships, school and community factors, and individual mental health issues.
MST is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to be effective in reducing recidivism and improving outcomes for youth and families. It has been used successfully with a range of populations, including youth with serious emotional disturbances, substance abuse problems, and involvement in the juvenile justice system.
