Hannah Brueckner and Kathryn Himmelstein Publish Major Findings from Teen Punishment Study - According to the study, lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adolescents are about 40 percent more likely than other teens to be punished by school authorities, police and the courts. Published in the January 2011 issue of the journal Pediatrics, the study is the first to document excessive punishment of LGB youth nationwide.
"We found that virtually all types of punishment—including school expulsions, arrests, juvenile convictions, adult convictions and especially police stops—were more frequently meted out to LGB youth," said lead author Kathryn Himmelstein, a NYC Teaching Fellow, who initiated the study while she was a Yale undergraduate. The research was supervised by Hannah Brueckner, professor of sociology and co-director of the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course at Yale.
Brueckner added, "The study provides the first and only national estimates for over-representation of LGB youth in the criminal justice system." Here is the link to the abstract/article on-line.
