APPLIED RESEARCH

Lost Opportunities: Our children are not rehabilitated when imprisoned as adults
Policy brief under-girding coalition policy advocacy against children’s arrest, trial and imprisonment as adults. Georgia’s Campaign for Juvenile Justice invited Dr. Satchel to investigate prison conditions/practices, and exclusively used this piece in their lobbying efforts in 2003 and 2004. GA’s State Legislature invited Dr. Satchel to testify several times about her findings, which resulted in the state’s first comprehensive legislation to repeal relevant laws.

Marginalized Women, Technology, COVID-19, and Intimate Partner Violence

Representing Sexually Exploited Children: A Manual for Attorneys & Service Providers
First culturally-competent and gender-specific training manual based on primary and secondary research for courts & treatment providers who serve sexually abused children. 40 pages of original text, national reports, related articles, court documents/forms, and a resource directory. Distributed throughout Georgia, the manual is used by lawyers, social workers, judges, detention administrators, and other officers of the court.

OFFICIAL CODE OF GEORGIA §16-6-13(b)
