Child’s trauma history behavioral health problems Argumentative Paper
Question Description
AP #2.How can a child’s trauma history (adverse childhood experiences) create behavioral health problems that contribute to juvenile delinquency?
Introduction to the issue (this is not to be used in your paper):Youth adjudicated delinquent of criminal offenses that land them in detention facilities to serve out their sentences have a disproportionately high number of adverse childhood experiences (trauma history).The days of juvenile justice being solely about keeping a child in custody are over.Juvenile justice in this country focuses on support, services, and treatment.Youth detention facilities that have started using trauma-informed training have seen a decline in the use of restraints and seclusion to address aggressive behavior, and a decline in threats against staff, along with reductions in symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome like nightmares, avoidance symptoms, hopelessness, depression, and anxiety.The youth in the detention facilities report they felt safer and more able to control their negative behaviors when the staff understand that they try to control their behavior but the hurt, pain, and fears (PTSD) from their childhood experiences interfere.

Refer to the supporting empirical research, and/or law, legal case or legislation that is consistent with your thesis statement and reinforces your position.The research facts establish your grasp of the problem and gives authority to your arg
