Dismantling the Sexual Abuse-to-Prison Pipeline

The Center for the Study of Social Policy has released a report titled "Dismantling the Pipeline: Addressing the Needs of Young Women and Girls of Color Involved in Intervening Public Systems." The report focuses on the disparities that girls of color face within public systems and showcases policies that work to stop the sexual abuse to prison pipeline and instead improve outcomes for this vulnerable population. The report also outlines what additional data is needed to flesh out this issue.
