Analyzes data from an evaluation of system-of-care community mental health services to identify correlates of conviction. Female adolescents with a reported history of criminal conviction were compared to three other groups. The conditional odds of reporting a high number of child correlates was found to be significantly greater for females with a history of conviction compared to all other groups. (Contains 36 references and 4 tables.) (GCP)
