Gender to a Tea: Oct. 27

Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 27, when Dr. Sara Bryson (Department of Criminal Justice) will present “Juvenile Waiver Decisions: Does Gender ‘Matter’?” as part of Gender to a Tea. The presentation will take place at 1 pm on WebEx.

Research has consistently found the presence of extra-legal disparities in juvenile justice decision-making, but less is known about the combined effects of a juvenile’s gender and race on the decision to transfer youth to adult court.

This talk outlines findings from a study in one Northeast state from 2004-2014 and demonstrates that while gender does “matter,” there are also important implications for the combined effects of gender and race.
