This concluding article presents visions for future research, prevention, intervention, and policy. This paper positions existing research paradigms against social justice principles, problematizing the ideological underpinnings of the legal system and its disproportionate impact on oppressed groups, including through the persistent overrepresentation of youth of color and/or marginalized genders. Highlighting the areas of challenge suggested by each of the manuscripts within the themed issue, this paper encourages critical shifts in the approach, design, and implementation of work with system-involved youth. Recommendations include: strengths-based, rights-based, systems accountability frameworks that account for structural forces and societal issues that produce oppressive contexts, amending and re-defining language to de-stigmatize youth, shifting the targets of this work up the power gradient to avoid victim blaming of youth, engaging participatory methods that provide direct benefit to youth, and critical discourse analysis alongside individual reflexivity to keep ourselves accountable in this work.
这篇总结性文章提出了对未来研究、预防、干预和政策的展望。本文将现有的研究范式与社会正义原则相对照，对法律体系的意识形态基础及其对受压迫群体的不成比例影响提出质疑，包括有色人种青年和/或边缘化性别的持续高比例代表。本文突出了主题问题中每篇稿件所提出的挑战领域，鼓励在与涉入系统的青年开展工作的方法、设计和实施方面进行批判性转变。建议包括：基于优势、基于权利、考虑到产生压迫性环境的结构力量和社会问题的系统问责框架；修改和重新定义语言以消除对青年的污名化；将这项工作的目标沿着权力梯度向上转移，以避免指责青年是受害者；采用能为青年带来直接益处的参与式方法；以及进行批判性话语分析并结合个人反思，以使我们在这项工作中保持问责。
