Abstract	This monograph introduces a series on youth with cognitive or behavioral disabilities and the juvenile justice system. The first section discusses the importance of prevention and early intervention to divert youth with disabilities from entering the justice system. It offers examples of such efforts and considers early and later intervention efforts, the importance of family involvement, assessment and evaluation, protective factors to enhance prevention, and prevention and sensitivity in the individual. The second section considers the various disabilities that put youth at greater risk for involvement with the juvenile justice system, especially learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, and attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder. The third section discusses the path a youth takes on his or her way through the juvenile justice system. The section addresses issues of co-morbidity, barriers in the justice system, custody/detention, initial appearances, prosecution filing decisions/diversion, cognitive and behavioral disabilities and trial issues, adjudication hearing/trial, post adjudication evaluations, dispositions/sentences, revocations/further dispositions, and training of judges, lawyers and others. The last section provides a brief description of the contents of each of the other six monographs in the series. Stressed throughout the monograph is the mission of the juvenile justice system, to protect and rehabilitate youth in trouble, not merely to punish them. (Contains 68 references.) (DB)
