Ajmani, Nisha; Webster, Erica – Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, 2016
From its inception in 1891 to present day, California's state youth corrections system has been mired in violence and abuse. In 1914, IQ testing and eugenics at state juvenile facilities resulted in the forced sterilization of poor, primarily non-white youth. In 1939, the suspicious suicide of a 13-year-old boy, the maltreatment of Latino youth,…

Blum-Ross, Alicia – Learning, Media and Technology, 2017
This article explores the dissonance between the expansive discourses imagined by the advocates for youth media as helping foster "empowerment" and "voice", versus the more circumscribed realities of participatory media production.

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2019
