Abstract

This article focuses on the need for communities to develop integrated service systems for troubled children and youth. Depending on the service organization with which they are affiliated, these young people carry various labels: at-risk, delinquent, behaviorally disordered, emotionally handicapped, socially maladjusted, seriously emotionally disturbed, sociopathic, conduct disordered, out-of-control, and antisocial. While these labels are highly variant, a common theme exists: all exhibit behaviors that run contrary to societal values and rules.
