Journal of Correctional Education, v66 n1 p4-20 Jan 2015
The transition to and from juvenile justice settings is a complex and challenging process. Effectively preparing juvenile justice personnel to address the transition needs of incarcerated students is an essential aspect of reducing the negative effects of the school-to-prison pipeline. This article examines program and professional development challenges that should be addressed to provide effective juvenile justice transition services. It also provides a technology-based perspective to the professional development challenges that are inherent within juvenile justice.
