Abstract
- African American girls in detention have received minimal attention in research.
- Study findings demonstrate heterogeneity based on peer, neighborhood, and family context.
- LCA found four groups: Hardy, Typical, Family Distress, and Highest Risk classes.
- Classes differed significantly on social functioning and mental health indicators.
- Detained African American girls have specific profiles of high risk needing intervention.
