Assessing the Status of Gender-Specific Programs through the Lens of Juvenile Justice Staff
The gender-specific approach for working with offenders gained momentum during the 1990s and has since been largely accepted by academics and practitioners. Despite numerous studies demonstrating a need for gender-responsive programs and policies within both adult and juvenile correctional systems, scant research has explored whether these services are meeting the intended goals. The current study addresses this through a qualitative analysis of …
The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Girls in Juvenile Justice Systems
Recent research finds that youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) are disproportionately incarcerated in juvenile justice systems. These systems have paid little attention to this subgroup in terms of their unique needs and risk factors. Using a feminist perspective, we analyze in-depth interviews with juvenile justice staff to better understand their perceptions about working with these youth. We examine the challeng…
Sexual Minority Status, Abuse, and Self-Harming Behaviors among Incarcerated Girls
Teaching to Make a Difference
This article addresses college classes as forums for activism. One course brought college students together with system-involved girls for a mentoring program to provide often-unavailable, relationship-oriented services to girls. A second course provided a unique educational experience for incarcerated youth and traditional college students to study restorative justice. As such, the course itself was an attempt to practice restorative justice pri…
College course participation for incarcerated youth
This paper describes a course taught in restorative justice during fall semester 2003. The objective of this semester‐long class was to offer a unique educational experience to incarcerated youth and traditional college students. Youth from a correctional facility traveled to campus once a week to participate in the class. The theory and practices of restorative justice provided the foundation for the content of the course. Restorative justice, o…
The Gendered Nature of Risk Factors for Delinquency
Traditional delinquency theories typically exclude girls and examine economic marginalization as the primary risk factor for boys. More recent mainstream theories expand the childhood strains associated with delinquency but fail to account for the link between childhood abuses and subsequent offending reported in the feminist pathways studies of girls and women. In addition, policies since the 1990s request the development of “gender-specific ser…
Mentoring girls in juvenile facilities
This paper describes a course offered over the past two summers (2000 and 2001) in the Sociology/Criminal Justice and Criminology Department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The course brought college students together with system-involved girls for an eight-week mentoring program. The development and a description of the course are presented, along with the rationale for providing this type of relationally-oriented program to girls. Ba…
