Such an important issue. Thank you for your research and this international comparison. I was not aware of the link to pharmaceutical companies, but, sadly, it makes sense now.

In my home country, USA, we have racial inequalities that lead to very unfair judgement and sentencing for people of color. There's also what we call the "school to prison pipeline," whereby those with unequal access to education and government services disproportionately end up in detention centers. Both of these combine early on in schools, too, as kids of color are way more likely to be labeled with "attitude disorders" or end up in "special education" than their white peers for the same kinds of behavior.

One interesting solution that I have a lot of faith in is garden education in prisons, helping trauma-effected youth reconnect with nature, a sense of their ability to grow and cultivate. We have some programs like this in the San Francisco Bay Area and I will be interested to see when studies come out about their effectiveness.

Thanks again, @Jockey, keep spreading the awareness!
