- Title
Juvenile delinquency and psychiatric contact among adoptees compared to non-adoptees in Denmark: a nationwide register-based comparative study.
- Authors
Laubjerg, Merete; Petersson, Birgit
- Abstract
Research stresses that adoptees are at high risk of psychiatric contact, but are they also more likely to be at risk of juvenile delinquency? The aim is to clarify whether the variable "adoptee" is an independent risk factor for criminal conviction and to highlight relationships between convictions and their relapses and psychiatric contacts.
