AAJJRS extends our sincere thanks to the scholars, practitioner-researchers, and students who contributed to the inaugural issue of the AAJJRS Scholar’s Digest. Your contributions helped make our first issue a success.
We’re now looking ahead to our next theme: "Examining Juvenile Justice Decision Points: Research, Data, and Practice."
The next issue will explore research, data, and practice perspectives on the decisions that shape young people’s experiences across the juvenile justice system. We welcome contributions from researchers, scholars, students, practitioners, and policy professionals.
AAJJRS will soon issue a formal call for submissions, including submission formats and deadlines.
