“Overall, findings from this study demonstrated that the general public lacks crucial knowledge about the collateral consequences of juvenile justice system involvement, supporting predictions that the public would correctly identify fewer than half of the collateral consequences. This study offers empirical support for legal professionals’ anecdotal concerns that individuals lack a fundamental understanding of the short- and long-term effects of juvenile justice involvement on youths’ lives and is consistent with research noting a lack of public knowledge about the juvenile justice system in other contexts (Hamilton & Harvey, 2005). The current study also provides promising preliminary data supporting the ability of brief educational interventions to influence individuals’ views regarding the impact of collateral consequences, as they have in other  contexts (Holden, Brown, Baldwin, & Caderao, 2014; Hunt & Hunt, 2004; Kruse & Card, 2004; MacDowell, Proffitt, & Frey, 1999; Watson et al., 2004)”

Do you think it would be a worthwhile investment of taxpayer dollars to create educational programs to help the public understand the possible unintended consequences of a juvenile court record? Why or why not?
