Are Crossover Youth a Distinct Group?
Recently, researchers and policy makers have begun focusing on crossover youth, the population of children and adolescents involved with both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Emerging evidence suggests that crossover youth possess unique characteristics, but a better understanding of the dynamic needs of this population will assist treatment providers and policy makers in responding to their needs. This study sought to identify and compare the mental health and substance use characteristics of crossover youth and of delinquent-only youth. The study examined archival data from 419 youth committed to New Jersey's Juvenile Justice Commission during 2011 and 2012. It was predicted...
Obstacles that Impact Social Science Research with Residential Juvenile Justice Facilities
The staggering number of youth who reside in residential juvenile justice facilities, along with federal, state, and local initiatives to improve the treatment and outcomes for these youth prompt the need for additional research with juvenile justice facilities. However, researchers encounter numerous obstacles when considering, designing, and conducting research with detention and post-adjudication juvenile justice facilities. These obstacles are often only briefly mentioned in publications, and they can impede research protocols to such an extent that studies do not even begin or are prematurely terminated. This study examined potential obstacles to research with residential juvenile justi...

When Prisoners Come Home
Every year, hundreds of thousands of jailed Americans leave prison and return to society. Largely uneducated, unskilled, often without family support, and with the stigma of a prison record hanging over them, many if not most will experience serious social and psychological problems after release. Fewer than one in three prisoners receive substance abuse or mental health treatment while incarcerated, and each year fewer and fewer participate in the dwindling number of vocational or educational pre-release programs, leaving many all but unemployable. Not surprisingly, the great majority is rearrested, most within six months of their release. What happens when all those sent down the river com...
