Abstract
This study aimed to examine the prevalence of sleep problems among justice-involved young adults and investigate the mediating effect of sleep between ETV and violence perpetration. We found that sleep is a significant mediator between ETV and violence perpetration and that poor sleep quality is common in the sample.
