SUMMARY: Researchers at Ole Miss are examining Mississippi’s juvenile arrest policies, following their study of similar practices in Florida. Assistant professor Abigail Novak and doctoral student Victoria de Francisco Lopez published a book on juvenile arrests in Florida, which emphasized the need for clear guidance for officers when dealing with children. They also called for appropriate training on child development and strategies for addressing delinquent behavior. Their research found that law enforcement agencies in Florida provided little policy guidance for interactions with children, a condition that is likely to be similar in Mississippi and other states. The researchers plan to conduct similar work on a national level.
