Abstract

Juvenile justice-involved youth, despite their history of poor academic performance, have high educational aspirations for their post-release life. However, few expect to meet their educational aspirations. Barriers in the transition from the juvenile justice setting to the community contribute to the disconnect between youths’ educational aspirations and expectations. However, to date, few studies have included the perspectives of incarcerated youth in assessing barriers to educational attainment. This study addresses the gap in the literature using data from the Survey of Youth in Residential Placement to examine self-reported barriers to meeting the educational aspiration of attending at least some college. Results indicate a lack of interest in school among juvenile justice-involved youth to be the most prevalent and significant barrier to higher educational expectations, despite self-reported high aspirations. We discuss policy implications to improve the reentry process and increase school attachment.

重返校园的障碍：在押青少年重返校园的认知

青少年司法问题青少年，尽管他们的学习成绩不佳，但他们对释放后的生活有很高的教育愿望。然而，很少有人期望实现他们的教育愿望。从少年司法机构向社会过渡过程中遇到的障碍，导致青少年的教育愿望与期望之间脱节。然而，迄今为止，很少有研究将监禁青少年的观点纳入评估教育成就障碍的范围。本研究利用《寄宿安置青年调查》的数据来解决文献中的空白，以检查自我报告的障碍，以满足至少参加一些大学的教育愿望。结果表明，尽管自我报告的愿望很高，但涉及少年司法的青少年对学校缺乏兴趣是实现更高教育期望的最普遍和最大的障碍。我们讨论了改善再入学过程和增加学校依恋的政策含义。
