Moreover, a growing body of research has revealed a compelling association between childhood trauma and an increased propensity for engaging in criminal behavior during adulthood. Several theoretical frameworks have emerged to elucidate the intricate relationship between childhood trauma and criminal behavior. To effectively address the intricate needs of adults with a history of childhood trauma and curtail the risk of criminal behavior, trauma-informed approaches have emerged as a promising avenue. These approaches centre upon a comprehensive understanding of the impact of trauma upon individuals' lives, facilitating the creation of safe and supportive environments, and integrating trauma-sensitive practices into service delivery.
