Abstract

Abstract Despite a growing awareness and documentation of the growing proportion of justice-involved girls and their unique needs over the last three decades, federal efforts to disseminate gender-responsive priorities have largely been unsuccessful. The purpose of this national, cross-sectional survey of juvenile justice staff was to describe the current implementation of gender-responsive programming, the degree to which it is empirically supported, the needs of justice involved girls, and the training needs of juvenile justice staff for working with this population. Two-hundred juvenile justice staff from the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) responded to this 24-item online survey across 28 U.S. states. The large majority (97%) agreed girls have unique needs, while 94% thought they needed gender-responsive programming. Seventy-percent of respondents endorsed local gender-responsive programming, although most services were offered post-adjudication, and few were empirically supported. Probation staff identified multiple training and programmatic needs to support their work with justice-involved girls.

青少年司法机构中女性青少年的需求、服务和障碍的全国缓刑工作人员调查

摘要尽管在过去三十年中，人们越来越认识到并记录到参与司法的女孩比例越来越高及其独特需求，但联邦政府宣传促进性别平等优先事项的努力基本上没有成功。这项针对少年司法工作人员的全国性横断面调查的目的是描述目前促进性别平等方案的实施情况、经验支持的程度、参与司法的女孩的需求，以及少年司法人员与这一人群合作的培训需求。来自美国缓刑和假释协会（APPA）的200名青少年司法工作人员对这项针对28名青少年的24项在线调查做出了回应美国各州。绝大多数人（97%）同意女孩有独特的需求，而94%的人认为她们需要促进性别平等的方案。70%的受访者支持当地促进性别平等的方案，尽管大多数服务是在裁决后提供的，很少有人得到经验支持。缓刑工作人员确定了多种培训和方案需求，以支持他们与涉及司法的女孩合作。
