Previous research demonstrates an association between developmental language disorder (DLD) and criminal offending. International research also implicates alexithymia as being over‐represented in forensic samples. This study provides a comprehensive examination of the psycholinguistic and socioemotional profiles of males and females in the youth justice system, with a focus on first‐time entrants. In the context of restorative justice (RJ) underpinning youth justice disposals, this allows for informed intervention and identifies those who may be compromised in their ability to effectively engage in certain interventions.

青少年罪犯的心理语言和社会情感特征：语言能力和性别重要吗？

先前的研究表明发育性语言障碍 (DLD) 与刑事犯罪之间存在关联。国际研究还暗示述情障碍在法医样本中的比例过高。本研究对青年司法系统中男性和女性的心理语言学和社会情感概况进行了全面检查，重点关注首次进入者。在支持青年司法处置的恢复性司法 (RJ) 的背景下，这允许进行知情干预，并确定那些可能在有效参与某些干预的能力方面受到损害的人。
