We conducted focus groups with defense lawyers, clinicians, and education advocates to gather their perspectives on families' experiences with the juvenile justice system. Our quantitative descriptive analysis identified a range of themes such as discussions about the poor treatment of families as well as recommendations for a shifting of power to families. These perspectives may provide insights about the context in which families are expected to participate in interventions, meet probationary demands, and provide for their youth's well-being. The results support evidence gathered from families about the impact of youth incarceration on their lives and has implications for practitioners and researchers working with families whose youth have been incarcerated.
我们与辩护律师、临床医生和教育倡导者进行了焦点小组讨论，以收集他们对家庭在少年司法系统中的经历的看法。我们的定量描述性分析确定了一系列主题，例如关于家庭受到恶劣对待的讨论以及将权力转移给家庭的建议。这些观点可能有助于深入了解家庭预计参与干预措施、满足缓刑要求并保障其子女福祉的背景情况。研究结果支持了从家庭收集到的关于青少年监禁对其生活影响的证据，并且对与子女被监禁的家庭打交道的从业者和研究人员具有启示意义。
