Juvenile Transfers to Adult Court: An Examination of the Long-Term Outcomes of Transferred and Non-Transferred Juveniles Juvenile and Family Court Journal 66,4 (Fall 2015): 29-47.

Juveniles who are transferred to adult court are more likely to recidivate than non-transferred juveniles, but limited research has examined how transfer can impact other life outcomes like attending college and employment. To examine this issue, data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) were analyzed from 1998 to 2011. It was found that court involvement during adolescence does not harm educational attainment. However, prosecution of juveniles in adult court significantly impairs earning potential well into adulthood. The current study provides further evidence of the long-term harms caused by transfer and demonstrates how transfer further disrupts the desistance process. |
