SUMMARY:Incorporating Youth Voice and the Lived Experience in Research
DESCRIPTION:The National Academy of Sciences Board on Children\, Youth\, and Families (BCYF) is holding this research seminar that examines the importance of including youth voices in research. They note that for research on topics related to youth health and well-being to be meaningful\, it must also be responsive to the real experiences of youth today. The lived experience – or the personal knowledge about the world gained through first-hand accounts of everyday events rather than through representations constructed by other people – is relevant across all aspects of research\, practice\, and policy. \nThe seminar will highlight examples\, both from BCYF’s work and from other projects across the country. It will also feature youth speakers who will share about their own experiences participating in research. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Incorporating Racial Equity Analysis in Policymaking: Racial Impact Statements in Justice Reform
DESCRIPTION:From the Urban Institute: Good policy should account for how decisions will play out on the ground and affect people’s lives. One tool lawmakers can use that aims to shed light on these impacts before legislation is passed is the racial impact statement. Like environmental or fiscal impact statements\, racial impact statements are predictive tools used in criminal justice policymaking to determine whether pending bills\, if enacted\, are likely to create or exacerbate disparate outcomes among people of different races or ethnicities. \nRacial impact statements can build a critical check for systemic racism into the justice policymaking process and help chart a more intentional and equitable course. This virtual event will feature experts from Urban\, The Sentencing Project\, and the National Juvenile Justice Network\, as well as Maryland State Delegate Jazz Lewis and Wayne Ford\, the former Iowa state representative who led passage of the nation’s first racial impact statement legislation. Together they will explore how states can effectively use racial impact statements to achieve reform. \nSpeakers:\n• Wayne Ford\, former Iowa State Representative\n• Jazz Lewis\, Maryland State Delegate\n• Nicole D. Porter\, Senior Director of Advocacy\, The Sentencing Project\n• Tracey Tucker\, Youth Justice Leadership Institute Coordinator\, National Juvenile Justice Network\n• Leah Sakala\, Senior Policy Associate\, Urban Institute (moderator) \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Human Trafficking Survivors’ Legal Needs Part 2: A Constellation of Legal Problems
DESCRIPTION:Due to the complexity of human trafficking\, survivors often have multiple interlocking legal needs that negatively affect their ability to achieve stability and escape the trafficking cycle. “[S]urvivors need specialized services that can assist with expungement\, vacatur\, and record sealing. Beyond criminal records\, survivors also face other legal obstacles” such as debt\, identity theft and lack of child custody. \n In Part 2 of the Legal Needs workshop series\, presenters Megan Lundstrom of The Avery Center for Research and Services and Marianna Kosharovsky of ALIGHT (Alliance to Lead Impact in Global Human Trafficking) continue to discuss the findings of The Legal Deserts Report\, namely specific areas of survivors’ legal needs\, gaps in the provision of appropriate legal services\, and additional opportunities for legal services organizations to meet the needs or survivors. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the William T. Grant Foundation and the Forum for Youth Investment\, this event\, Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use\, is the fourth webinar in a series focused on bringing critical race perspectives to research that examines how to improve the use of research evidence in policy and practice. Past webinars have addressed the ways race matters for how research is used\, what research is used\, and whose research is used. This session focuses on concrete strategies for incorporating attention to race in a study’s research design. \nPanelists will share examples\, strategies\, and challenges related to the conceptualization and operationalization of race in research design. This webinar is targeted toward researchers who want to develop richer and more nuanced approaches to examining race in their own research. \nWe invite you to join us on November 15\, 2pm – 4pm ET to think together about how to meaningfully measure race and racism in studies that examine strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth. \nSpeakers: \n• Amanda E. Lewis\, Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Black Studies and Sociology\, University of Illinois at Chicago \n• Johanna S. Quinn\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, Fordham University \n• June Ahn\, Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and Research Practice Partnerships\, University of California\, Irvine \n• Meredith I. Honig\, Professor of Education Policy\, Organizations\, and Leadership and Director of the District Leadership Design Lab\, University of Washington \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Bullying as a Developmental Precursor to Sexual and Dating Violence Across Adolescence
DESCRIPTION:The next webinar in CVR’s Evidence Hour series will take place on November 17\, 2021 \nAdolescent bullying continues to be a major focus of scholarly research across the globe with 1\,585 published articles in the last decade. This webinar will include discussion of the longitudinal studies of the bully-sexual violence pathway (Bully-SV pathway) where bullying serves as a precursor for sexual violence (e.g.\, sexual harassment\, sexual coercion\, sexual assault) and teen dating violence.  Potential mechanisms underlying the bully-sexual violence pathway include social dominance orientation\, exposure to sexual education\, alcohol use\, etc. Several school-based intervention approaches have shown marginal success in reducing rates of bullying and SV by targeting factors undergirding both behaviors\, and these will be reviewed in this webinar. \nRead the review. \nPresenters: \nDorothy L. Espelage\, Ph.D.\, is the William C. Friday Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Espelage’s research focuses on translating empirical findings into prevention and intervention programming. She is the recipient of the APA Lifetime Achievement Award in Prevention Science & the 2016 APA Award for Distinguished Contributions to Research in Public Policy\, and is a Fellow of APS\, APA\, and AERA. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Education. She has authored over 180 peer-reviewed articles\, 70 book chapters on bullying\, homophobic teasing\, sexual harassment\, dating violence\, & gang violence. \nBarri Rosenbluth\, MSSW\, has over 30 years’ experience in the field of sexual violence prevention. She served as Senior Director for the Expect Respect Program at the SAFE Alliance in Austin\, Texas from 1990-2021\, and has collaborated on numerous national prevention education initiatives. Barri specializes in building multi-level programs that support vulnerable youth\, mobilize youth leaders and build capacity for response and prevention in K-12 schools. She was honored with the 2014 Phyllis Richards Austin Icon for Children Award from the Austin Child Guidance Center and the 2010 Professional Innovation in Victim Services Award from the U.S. Department of Justice. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Web chat with Dr. Liz Miller on Healing Justice and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Life Paths Research Center is pleased to announce their next webchat\, which will feature Dr. Elizabeth Miller discussing her work on violence prevention\, gender transformative approaches to working with youth\, and her latest thoughts about the intersections between social justice and prevention. Dr. Miller will be interviewed by Dr. Katie Schultz. \nDr. Liz Miller is Professor of Pediatrics\, Public Health\, and Clinical and Translational Science and holds the Edmund R. McCluskey Chair in Pediatric Medical Education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Elizabeth Miller also directs the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and maintains an active research program focused on reducing gender-based violence to improve adolescent health with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, the CDC\, the Office on Women’s Health\, and foundations. Examples of research include a cluster-randomized\, controlled trial of a gender-based violence-prevention program\, funded by the CDC\, which involves training coaches to encourage their middle-school male athletes to recognize and stop disrespectful and harmful behaviors toward girls. Another CDC-funded study involves testing a gender transformative program (addressing healthy masculinity and sexuality) among African American males ages 13–19 in 20 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Another cluster-randomized\, controlled trial is testing a brief sexual assault intervention (NIAAA R01) at student health centers on 28 college campuses. \nMiller also serves as research consultant to Futures Without Violence\, a national nonprofit organization providing resources to health care providers in their efforts to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. Project Connect\, a national training project funded by the Office on Women’s Health\, involves work with states and tribal organizations on the integration of partner-violence prevention and intervention into public health programs\, specifically reproductive health\, adolescent health\, and maternal-child health programs. Miller has served as the evaluator for this project as well as a similar project located in community health centers in California\, funded by the Blue Shield of California Foundation. \nDr. Katie Schultz is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Michigan and an enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Drawing on community-based participatory research approaches\, her research focuses primarily on responding to violence and understanding community and cultural connectedness in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. She is interested in innovative conceptual and methodological approaches to research with tribal communities and health promotion rooted in Indigenous knowledges and sustainable solutions by and for Native peoples. Her current projects include a study focused on risk and protective factors related to justice-involvement among a Native population; investigating social networks and associations with substance use\, violence\, and suicide among American Indian adolescents; and collaborating with a statewide coalition to develop research to address violence among tribal communities in Michigan. \nREGISTER \nFree\, but donations to Life Paths Research Center are invited to support webinars like these.

SUMMARY:Multilevel Evaluation of Project Safe Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:Multilevel Evaluation of Project Safe Neighborhoods \nPanel Chair: Jim Trudeau\, Ph.D.\, RTI International \nPanel Abstract: Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a DOJ-sponsored initiative to reduce violent crime\, particularly gun crime\, by fostering cooperation by criminal justice agencies and local partners to develop and implement strategic approaches. \nThis panel presents information about the enhanced PSN model implemented since 2018 and the national evaluation being conducted by RTI International and the Justice Research and Statistics Association. The evaluation includes a national assessment including all 94 districts across the U.S. and territories and case studies in 10 carefully selected districts. Both components address outcomes (violent crime\, arrests and prosecutions)\, implementation (e.g.\, how PSN principles were implemented; partnership composition and functioning) and how implementation is associated with outcomes. \nFollowing an overview of PSN and the national evaluation\, we will delve into the design and initial findings of the national assessment and case studies\, respectively. We will also discuss the implications of the FBI’s move away from the UCR Summary Reporting System to incident-based data for the evaluation and how the project team is adapting to this changing environment. Discussants include the PSN Coordinator from the Northern District of Illinois and NIJ’s scientific advisor to this project. \nProposed Panel setting: 15 minutes for each presentation and 20 minutes for introductions\, Discussant comments\, and Q&A. \nTopics – Presenters: \n\nOverview of PSN and the National Evaluation – Jim Trudeau\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nNational Assessment: Design and Initial Findings – Lynn Langton\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nUS Crime Data Infrastructure and Implications for a National Evaluation – Roger Przybylski\, Ph.D.\, JRSA\nCase Studies: Design and Initial Findings – Chris Lindquist\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nDiscussants: Basia E. Lopez\, MPA\, NIJ and Ron DeWald\, PSN Coordinator\, Northern District of Illinois (invited)\n\nREGISTER
