Development Interrupted
Emerging adults–young people between the ages of 18 and 25–are one of the most poorly served age groups in the criminal justice system. Although emerging adults constitute a substantial portion of the people who are arrested, charged, or incarcerated, they are also at an age of exceptional promise and malleability, “an age of opportunity” when the chance to finish school, get a job, develop healthy relationships, or access healthcare can transfor…
Young adults’ conceptions of health and well-being during reentry
BACKGROUND: In the United States, young adults (ages 18-25) represent 1 in 10 of the prison population and 1 in 5 of the jail population. They face significant physical and mental health challenges during their transition from incarceration back to community life. These challenges are compounded by the structural barriers of reentry, including challenges accessing housing, employment, and healthcare. While previous research has explored young adu…

Beyond Reform in Youth Justice
The child welfare system (CWS), juvenile legal system (JLS), and school-to-prison nexus are often framed as distinct institutions, yet they function as interconnected mechanisms of surveillance, control, and punishment—particularly for Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized youth. Through the lens of carceral seepage, this article examines how punitive logics extend across these youth-serving systems, reinforcing cycles of criminalization rath…
Storytelling for social change
Social justice is a value central to the social work profession and paramount for scholars and practitioners invested in public behavioral health. How can social workers and behavioral health researchers and practitioners approach practice, often dealing with personal and individual-level issues, while maintaining a systemic antioppressive and social justice-oriented focus? In this article, we present a model for leveraging emerging technologies …
Facing power
Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is oftentimes cited as a method guided by social justice principles to uplift youth voice and pursue youth priorities in research. However, to uphold these principles, YPAR researchers must address how youth and adults alike negotiate power differentials to be equal partners in research and scholarship. We explore YPAR power sharing through a reflexive thematic analysis of in-depth, semi-structured inter…
Youth engagement to achieve health equity
Youth engagement in institutional decision‐making is necessary to ensure policy and practice is responsive and relevant to youth and community needs. In particular, it is critical to engage the voices and experiences of youth of Color who have historically been marginalized by healthcare organizations. The present study used multiple methods to examine youth and adult perspectives on the facilitators and barriers to implementing a citywide youth …
Digital Rage
The concept, 'White Rage,' has previously been used to describe the way Whites have historically responded to Black advancement with policies and practices designed to quietly disrupt the progress Blacks had been making. White rage is typically subtle, masking its true intent. In contrast, recent research has found that the covert, subtle expressions of racism that are so normal in most mainstream spaces may be less common in internet-based commu…
Tweeting Toward Transformation
The United States is the world leader in confining bodies behind bars. As scholars, practitioners, and activists struggle against the problem of mass incarceration, this article makes a distinction between two competing perspectives, both of which seek to change the current criminal legal system: 'prison abolition' and 'reformism.' Each represents ideological and political differences in how mass incarceration should and could be resolved. Prior …
Covid‐19 shines a light on health inequities in communities of color
This manuscript reports on a youth‐driven health assessment engaging youth of color in identifying community health priorities during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Photovoice, a participatory visual ethnographic health assessment strategy, was used to explore the question: What does health or healthiness mean to you and/or your community? Youth captured images that represented their priorities. The photos were discussed using …

How to Be an Antiracist
This study is part of a larger Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project engaging youth of color (YOC; aged 16–24 years) in a planning a multilevel health promotion campaign for a large safety net hospital. Analyses focus on youths’ conceptualizations of antiracism, and their recommendations on how to facilitate an intentionally antiracist YPAR. We answer the following questions: (a) How do YOC engaged in a YPAR project conceptualize and…
Examining a Child Welfare Parenting Intervention for Parents With Intellectual Disabilities
Purpose: There is scant child welfare research on parenting interventions for parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). This mixed-methods research examined client participation in an in-home parenting intervention, including client characteristics, which clients benefit most from participation, and key aspects of program participation. Method: The sample included participant program records, client satisfaction surveys, st…
