Stop criminalizing behavior resulting from environments that girls can’t control

Decriminalize “prostitution” for minors- they are victims of sexual exploitation and should be offered alternatives to arrests and charges

Decriminalize minor school offenses commonly charged to girls, such as being verbally disruptive 

Reduce system involvement for misdemeanors

Remove the juvenile-justice system from enforcing and punishing curfew and ordinance violations

Change school policies so that they help girls in need

And very importantly, spend health dollars on evidence-based practices and programs for girls 

Alternatives to detention and incarceration for girls are in short supply and must be developed. Girls with complex needs who pose little or no risk to public safety should not be detained or incarcerated.

While many girls that commit these offenses are victims of past abuse, poverty, or trauma, the options available to help them recover are minimal. The system instead detains them in order to prevent them from committing such acts again, but actually only contributes to further trauma these young girls experience. The department of Health and Human Services has stated that states should be using trauma focused screening in these instances in order to prevent girls being directed into facilities that will not benefit them.]]> 2016-11-28 14:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtmlamont/juvenilejustice/wish/140183420 hannahtmlamont https://padlet.com/hannahtmlamont/juvenilejustice/wish/140183671 The council has devised a 7-pronged approach to fix the issue of the gender gap that has sprouted in the juvenile justice system.
