The present study attempted to delieneate factors that are associated with and may contribute to juvenile delinquency. Delinquents were compared to a matched control group of non offenders on a measure of mental health problems. Twenty - four male and female incarcerated juvenile offenders and 24 non offending adolescents were evaluated on the revised behaviour problem checklist (RBPC). As expected, the offenders scored higher (an indication of more psychopathology) on the subscales of the RBPC which represent externalizing types of problems. The offenders also scored signficantly higher on the subscales reflecting internalizing problems and psychotic behaviour. The results of this study point to the importance of assessing and treating offenders, especially those who are incarcerated, for difficulties other than externalizing problems.
