The Council of State Governments Justice Center, September 16, 2020. This report summarizes key findings from an unprecedented research study on the impact of juvenile justice system involvement — particularly probation — on school attendance. It reveals that kids involved in the juvenile justice system in South Carolina not only didn’t experience attendance improvements, but their attendance actually got worse. The CSG Justice Center study also raises concerns about whether some schools’ policies and practices make it harder for justice-involved youth to engage and succeed in school.
