Interactions between Youth and Law Enforcement
Excerpt -
There has also been little research on how youth behaviors and decision-making influence police–youth
contact (Brunson and Weitzer 2011), or on how officers’ concerns for community safety and their own
safety influence these interactions.
This literature review will discuss the research relevant to interactions between police and youth.
Topics in this review include the prevalence of police–youth interactions, factors that influence such
interactions, the role of law enforcement in the juvenile justice system, and the outcome evidence of
programs developed to help improve police–youth encounters.
