Electronic Monitoring of Juveniles

Students: Nadia Morrow

Mentor: Dr. Darren Wheelock

Project Background

In Milwaukee and other places around the country, electronic monitoring is used as an alternative to sending juveniles to detention centers. The belief is that electronic monitoring along with effective use of the YASI assessment tool will allow for suitable intervention to prevent juveniles from remaining in the system.

Project Description

With the data aquired from the use of these systems, we hope to find if both electronic monitoring and the YASI assessment tool are being used for their intended uses or if the reality and expectations diverge.
