What About Girls in Indiana’s Juvenile Justice System?

Indiana’s Gender-Relevant Programming Initiative was designed to address the question “What about girls in Indiana’s juvenile justice system?” by employing comprehensive research to identify the unique programs and service needs of 10 to 17 year-old girls involved in or at-risk of becoming involved in the state’s juvenile justice system. The final study design developed by the Youth and Research Divisions of the Institute, in collaboration with the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, included (a) an analysis of state and national data to identify gender differences in delinquency pathways, (b) focus groups investigating the unique needs and experiences of at-risk and delinquent girls from the perspectives of girls, women who were involved in the juvenile justice system as girls, and the professionals who work with them, and (c) a statewide survey assessing the gender-relevant needs of youth from the perspective of juvenile justice professionals and youth service providers.
