The American Association of Juvenile Justice Researchers & Scholars extends sincere thanks to the scholars, practitioner-researchers, and students who submitted contributions for the upcoming issue of the AAJJRS Scholar’s Digest.
We are encouraged by the thoughtful submissions received in response to the theme:
“What’s Next in Juvenile Justice and Youth Victimization: Research, Data, and Practice.”
AAJJRS created The Scholar’s Digest to provide a timely, accessible forum for sharing emerging research, data insights, and practice perspectives that may not yet appear in full journal articles but still deserve visibility within the field.
The editorial team is currently reviewing submissions and preparing the inaugural issue. We look forward to sharing the upcoming edition of the AAJJRS Scholar’s Digest soon, highlighting innovative ideas, ongoing projects, and new directions in juvenile justice and youth victimization research.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort and to the growing AAJJRS scholarly community.
Stay tuned for the upcoming release.
