School Safety, Juvenile Justice, and Research Methodologies: Navigating Policy and Practice
Fri, Nov 14, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Marquis Salon 9 - M2Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
This panel explores various policies and practices that influence the likelihood of contact with the juvenile justice system. Each study is concerned with a different aspect of juvenile justice, including the selection of school resource officers, the impact of school safety legislation, or the measurement of risk to reoffend and self-reported offending. The findings from these studies highlight the importance of robust measurement, professional development (e.g., communication skills, experience with children) and systemic factors (e.g., state legislation, risk assessment tools) in shaping juvenile justice system outcomes.
