In Week One, you created an annotated bibliography (attached). It is now time to take that research and begin working on your Intervention Proposal. One of the main components of an intervention proposal is the literature review. This week you will be drafting a portion of the literature review that you will include in your Week Six Intervention Proposal. For this week, choose three to four articles that include in a mini literature review that you will build on during Week Six Intervention Proposal. These articles should all be recent (published within the past 10 years). You should also cite other material (e.g., seminal works about the theories) as appropriate.

In your literature review:

• State your thesis statement that is your professional opinion.
• Briefly explain the organization of the paper. For example, if there is a major controversy in this literature, briefly describe the controversy and state that you will present research supporting first one side, and then the other. Or, if three methodologies have been used to address the question, briefly describe them and then state that you will compare the results obtained by the three methods.
• Begin by broadly discussing the literature. Then, narrow your review to the studies that are most related to your research question. Your literature review should resemble a funnel - wide (broad) at the top and narrow (focused) at the bottom.
• Ensure that at least one article (but no more than two) supports the opposing side to your thesis.
• Describe studies in enough detail that the reader has a general sense of the study's hypothesis, methods, and findings.
• Evaluate the studies. Do not provide article summaries; rather, provide descriptive and scholarly evaluations of the research.
• Discuss implications of studies (i.e., your judgment of what the studies show and where to go from here). It is common (and often better) to combine the description and evaluation sections. If you do combine them, do not forget to evaluate them.
• State your conclusion that reaffirms your professional opinion.

The literature review must be four to six pages, excluding title and reference pages, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Psychiatry, 15(1). http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12888-015-0421-1
The authors developed Y-ACNAT-NO tool. This instrument was used by the Dutch police
officers for approximating the risk for the future care requirements of juvenile non-offenders.
The authors stated that the predictive validity of the Y-ACNAT-NO in relation to discrimination
and calibration was adequate to substantiate its application as a primary screening tool when a
verdict is needed concerning referring a juvenile for the additional evaluation of care need. This
article is all about juvenile delinquents similar to the reviewed article. Psychology is all about
human mind and behavior; the article presents information concerning issues surrounding the
juvenile individuals.

The author, Andrew Day works at Deakin University, Australia in the school of Psychology. He
once worked as a psychologist in the correctional services in both Australia and the United
Kingdom; he gained his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Birmingham and
his master’s in applied criminological psychology from the University of London.
The article he wrote attempts to enhance my understanding of the essential issues which
underpin the practice of correlation psychology. The article describes the various ways various
groups in the society; psychology is always a science of mind and behavior. It is all about
understanding people and groups by creating principles and studying particular cases. The author ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
focused on studying different groups in the society using a number of approaches. The juvenile
delinquents are my topic of concern and this article relates to it comprehensively. The article
presents a desistance approach which is a value-based approach in responding to crime,
rehabilitating criminals, and pursuing reconciliation that may help in negotiating the tensions that
inevitably occur meeting the responsibilities as both mental health experts and risk managers.
This article remind people of the need to sustain devotion to core values around the promotion of
human flourishing and well-being as well as the need to always consider how connected our
treatment activities are to the social context within which offending occurs.

The authors provide information regarding the juvenile delinquents; they assessed that the
freeing of juvenile offenders without supplementary guidance measures can have some influence
on the increase of recidivism. The article is in line with the reviewed article as presented in the
earlier paper. The findings indicate that the necessity of suitable treatment considering the
juvenile delinquents or environmental nature by invigorating the expert participation system at
the first stage of investigation. The article does not refute with information presented in the
reviewed article.
