Abstract

Violence among incarcerated youths is a serious public health issue and an area of marked health disparities. Procedural Justice is an ethical framework to guide policy approaches in the criminal justice system. The purpose of our study was to evaluate youth perception of neutrality, respect, trust, and voice while incarcerated. Young people ages 14 to 21 previously incarcerated in a juvenile detention facility were interviewed regarding their perceptions of procedural justice. Participants were recruited from community-based organizations. Interviews were semi-structured, lasting for 1 hr. Interviews were coded for themes related to procedural justice. Twenty-eight participants were interviewed regarding their experience with procedural justice while incarcerated. Key themes included: Neutrality: Participants felt that they were treated impartially regarding everyone receiving the same punishment for offenses; however, levels of punishments for offenses were inconsistent. Respect: Participants often felt disrespected by staff. Trust: The participants did not feel safe to trust. Voice: Participants felt they had no voice while incarcerated. Previously incarcerated youth perceptions indicated a need for more training in the juvenile detention system to enable staff members to have a better understanding of procedural justice and to appropriately utilize it.

曾被监禁的青少年对程序正义的看法：被监禁青少年的程序正义。

被监禁青少年中的暴力行为是一个严重的公共健康问题，也是一个存在明显健康差异的领域。程序正义是指导刑事司法系统政策方针的道德框架。我们的研究旨在评估青少年在监禁期间对中立、尊重、信任和发言权的看法。我们采访了曾被关押在青少年拘留所的 14 至 21 岁青少年，了解他们对程序正义的看法。参与者是从社区组织中招募的。访谈采用半结构式，持续 1 小时。我们对访谈内容进行了编码，以确定与程序正义相关的主题。28 名参与者接受了关于他们在监禁期间对程序正义的体验的访谈。关键主题包括中立性：参与者认为，他们受到了公正的对待，每个人都因犯罪而受到同样的惩罚；但是，对犯罪的惩罚程度并不一致。尊重：参与者经常感到工作人员不尊重他们。信任：参加者感到没有信任的安全感。发言权：参与者认为他们在监禁期间没有发言权。曾经被监禁过的青少年的看法表明，需要在青少年拘留系统中开展更多培训，使工作人员能够更好地理解程序性司法，并恰当地加以利用。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
