Being that it is the end of the year, I wanted to highlight a few important findings from my research over the past year:

Youth Justice:
1) Incarcerating youth in adult facilities appears to increase violent victimization during adulthood (doi.org/10.1002/jad....).
Juvenile Incarceration in an Adult Facility and Violent Victimization During Adulthood

Trump has wiped out injury and violence prevention at the CDC.

Surveillance systems and programs to protect kids from things like firearm injuries and drowning...just gone.

Tariffs and the price of eggs don't mean a damn thing if we can't even keep our kids safe.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

This is not counting some unpublished works, which have experienced upwards 6-7 rejections from journals. Impactful research might not always be published in the first submission. Some of my most-cited articles were rejected 1-2 times times before being accepted for publication.

ianasilver.bsky.social
As a reminder, rejection is a normal part of academic publishing! I have published 62 articles to date and experience approximately 1.5 rejections per-article published.

I have my rejection tracker publicly available on my website

Our results indicate that being arrested, incarcerated in a facility for juveniles, or incarcerated in a facility for adults as a minor may be linked to reduced access to medical insurance and medical care during adulthood.

To start the year off, Jamie Newsome, @tovaacohen.bsky.social, and I worked on a manuscript studying if involvement in the system as an adolescent was a risk factor for reduced health care access and usage during adulthood. The results suggest that the answer is yes! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Brand new article out now, led by @ianasilver.bsky.social. Using NLSY-97 data, we found that children incarcerated in adult facilities suffer long-term economic consequences related to employment and wages earned. These are particularly harmful to Black children.

This year has been extremely busy, but these findings have important policy implications that could potentially reform the criminal justice system for the better. Happy New Year!

Corrections:

1) Incarceration differentially impacts income across racial groups, suggesting that involvement with the system might exacerbate income inequality in the United States (doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...).

3) Not all combinations of pretrial supervision conditions are equal. Some of which could reduce the likelihood of recidivism, while some could increase the likelihood of recidivism (to be published in Federal Probation).

2) The predictive validity of the Public Safety Assessment appears to remain similar when using abbreviated criminal histories (< 5 years), suggesting that lifetime criminal history items might not be beneficial for prediction (doi.org/10.1080/0741...).

Pretrial:

1) Time spent in pretrial detention appears to influence the likelihood and time until an individual becomes reinvolved with the system, as well as the likelihood of experiencing a failure to appear or conviction (doi.org/10.1016/j.jc... & doi.org/10.1111/1745...).

People always inform me about how much they love the Rejection Tracker on my website (www.ianasilver.com). My updated rejection rate is 1.58 rejections per-published article!

This stat is misleading though, because I do have approximately 8 "dead" papers that have 1 to almost 7 rejections.
