Abstract

This dissertation explores the barriers faced by Black Youth Males Transitioning from the Juvenile Justice System to Comprehensive School.

The purpose of this study was to provide administrators with a product that can assist staff collaborating with Black male students to seamlessly and successfully transition to a comprehensive school after being released from a secured Department Juvenile Justice facility. The product addresses effective school support for Black male youths who have been detained in the juvenile justice system to re-engage them in such a way to achieve a diploma. This study also investigated school re-entry procedures with formerly incarcerated youth, which can prevent them from closing the achievement gap caused by the school-to-prison pipeline. This study was intended for schools to know the best practices and policies that need to be in place to provide the support and services for formerly incarcerated Black youth males.
