Abstract

There is little to no literature concerning effective ways to obtain approval from criminal or juvenile justice agencies to conduct external research. This article presents the results of a survey of state juvenile correctional research departments by the research director of a state juvenile correctional agency with the responsibility of reviewing external research proposals. The survey focused on factors that may impact the probability of research approval or rejection. Survey results reveal that "getting in" to conduct external research in juvenile correctional agencies may be conditioned by several factors including but not limited to the subject of research, the researcher himself or herself, and perhaps most important, the potential impact the research will have on the agency.
