Multisystemic therapy aimed at preventing delinquency __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multisystemic therapy focuses on improving the family and ecological systems within which delinquent behavior occurs. It has been found to improve parent-adolescent relationships and school performance, as well as reducing delinquent behavior. The therapy is not exclusively a family-based intervention, as it also addresses other aspects of the adolescent's environment, such as school and peer groups. There is no evidence to suggest that it leads to an increase in family instability or an increase in the severity of subsequent crimes committed by participants.
