Long-term arrest and school outcomes of the Philadelphia PoliceSchool Diversion Program
Development of a Youth Civic Engagement Program
Although research suggests neighborhood‐level factors influence youth well‐being, few studies include youth when creating interventions to address these factors. We describe our three‐step process of collaborating with youth in low‐income communities to develop an intervention focused on civic engagement as a means to address neighborhood‐level problems impacting their well‐being. In the first step, we analyzed qualitative interviews from a proje…
Keeping kids in school through prearrest diversion
OBJECTIVES: Developed to keep youth in school and out of court, the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program allows youth to avoid arrest for specified school-based summary and misdemeanor offenses. This study examined whether diverted youth were also less likely to experience exclusionary discipline, both in response to the referring incident and in the following calendar year. HYPOTHESES: We predicted that diverted youth-compared to youth a…
Preventing school-based arrest and recidivism through prearrest diversion
OBJECTIVES: Created to combat the school-to-prison pipeline, the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program offers voluntary community-based services to eligible youth accused of minor school-based offeses in lieu of arrest. This study evaluated program effectiveness in accomplishing goals related to reductions in school-based arrests, serious behavioral incidents, and recidivism. HYPOTHESES: We expected the annual number of school-based arrest…
Parental incarceration during childhood and later delinquent outcomes among Puerto Rican adolescents and young adults in two contexts
OBJECTIVE: Childhood parental incarceration has been linked to increased rates of delinquency and arrest during adolescence and young adulthood; however, previous research has focused on White and/or Black samples rather than Latinx youth. We examined relationships between childhood parental incarceration and later delinquency and arrest among Puerto Rican youth living in Puerto Rico (majority context) and the mainland United States (minority con…
Addressing Youth-Focused Research Questions in a Community Context
Research seeking to understand and improve social conditions for marginalized youth would benefit from merging complex mixed methods research designs emphasizing multilevel data and participatory-social justice principles. We contribute to mixed methods research by introducing a multilevel, participatory-social justice mixed methods design that accomplishes this task and by illustrating its real-world application via PhotoStories , a multistage s…
Reducing racial/ethnic disparities in mental health service use among emerging adults
Objectives: Emerging adulthood-spanning 18-29 years of age-is associated with the highest risk for onset of certain behavioral health disorders (e.g. major depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, substance use disorders) and high prevalence of many behavioral health disorders. Yet, rates of mental health service use remain low in this age range. Racial/ethnic minorities are particularly impacted by individual, cultural/linguistic, and community-…
Racial/ethnic differences in general physical symptoms and medically unexplained physical symptoms
Results from this study question existing stereotypical views of racial/ethnic differences in somatization and suggest that educational attainment does not significantly contribute to reported physical symptoms-with or without medical explanation.

Releasing individuals from incarceration during Covid-19
The emergence and rapid growth of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the U S criminal justice system as federal and state governments consider allowing the early release of select currently incarcerated individuals to mitigate the pandemic's spread As a result, the number of incarcerated individuals released into the community is likely to increase abruptly COVID-19 has drastically altered the communities …
Gathering Diverse Perspectives to Tackle “Wicked Problems”
Among students receiving behavioral health and special education services, racial/ethnic minority students are consistently overrepresented in settings separate from general classrooms. Once separated, many young people struggle to improve academically and face significant difficulty upon trying to return to a general education setting. Given the complex, ongoing, and multifaceted nature of this challenge, racial/ethnic disproportionality can be …
Mentoring future researchers
Despite efforts to increase the diversity of academia, minority scholars continue to face significant barriers (e.g., higher financial burden, lack of institutional support for research interests, social isolation) that undermine their representation in the field and overall professional success. Researchers have suggested increased mentorship as a means of mitigating these challenges. In 2015, with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundati…
