All over Europe youth delinquency is decreasing; our understanding of the factors related to juvenile delinquency and the characteristics of effective forensic youth care has increased substantially. However, effective prevention and intervention strategies are not always employed due to financial, demographical and socio-political challenges countries face, while the burden of mental health in juvenile justice populations is high. With this commentary, we highlight the importance of international collaboration to set out a direction to improve forensic youth care, to bundle our strengths and overcome our challenges. It is a continuation of the course that was set out by Doreleijers and Fegert (Child Adolesc Psychiatry Ment Health 5:20, 2011), in their editorial they highlighted the importance of collaboration and presented an overview of the state of the art on forensic youth care in eight European countries (and Russia). With this manuscript, we present an overview of statistics in juvenile justice of all European countries and present an integrated mission statement for forensic youth care, which was formulated in a keynote debate at the 6th biennial congress of the European Association for Forensic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychology and other involved professions (EFCAP).

欧洲法医青年护理概述：面向青少年犯罪预防和干预策略的综合使命

整个欧洲的青少年犯罪率正在下降。我们对与青少年犯罪相关的因素以及有效的法医青年护理的特征的了解已大大增加。然而，由于各国面临的财政，人口和社会政治挑战，并不总是采用有效的预防和干预策略，而少年司法人群的心理健康负担却很高。通过这篇评论，我们强调了开展国际合作以确立改善法医青年护理的方向，凝聚我们的优势并克服挑战的重要性。这是Doreleijers和Fegert提出的课程的延续（Child Adolesc Psychiatry Ment Health 5：20，2011），他们在社论中强调了合作的重要性，并概述了八个欧洲国家（和俄罗斯）法医青年护理的最新状况。借助这份手稿，我们将介绍所有欧洲国家/地区青少年司法统计的概况，并提出一份有关法医青年护理的综合任务说明，该声明是在欧洲法医儿童和青少年精神病学协会第六届双年度大会的主题辩论中制定的，心理学和其他相关专业（EFCAP）。
