Broad Topic: Juvenile Justice/Crime Statistics

Narrow Topics: Your research should include data, facts, and statistics. You may want

to narrow your focus to teen girls or teen boys, teens in adult prisons, or the impact of

teen incarcerations.

Selecting Specific Teens: Researching Examples of Real Life Incarcerated Teens

Consider the following research points and questions when you select 1-2 teens to feature

in your research project. If you are unable to locate enough information about the person

or people you have chosen, try searching for additional online sources outside of those

bookmarked in the Juvenile Justice Webmix in order to learn more details.

Researching a Specific Person

Was this an isolated incident? Was the teen arrested prior to his/her conviction?

Are there any events in the teen’s childhood that could have contributed to the choices

he/she has made?

How has serving time impacted the teen?

Video Documentaries Research: Note-Taking Tips on a Video or Documentary

Document details from a teen serving time in jail who is featured in the documentary or

include facts or statistics you learn from viewing one of the juvenile justice
