Letting Work What Works—Effectively Preventing Juvenile Delinquency in the Netherlands: A Meta-Analysis of the Evidence
Overview
This meta-analysis synthesizes evidence from ten studies on six juvenile delinquency interventions certified by the Netherlands Youth Institute, including cognitive behavioral and family-based therapies. The authors report a small overall positive effect but note that responsiveness to the Risk-Need-Responsivity model and longer treatment durations may enhance outcomes for high-risk youth. The resource is intended for clinicians and policymakers seeking an overview of intervention efficacy within the Dutch context.
