The primary aim of this study was to examine gender and racial differences in the association between system involvement types (i.e., child protective services [CPS] only, juvenile justice system only, and dual involvement) and academic outcomes (i.e., grade failure, chronic absenteeism). This study used records from a linked database of public youth-serving institutional records within a county’s youth court, law enforcement agencies, and CPS. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. The impact of systems involvement on academic outcomes was most salient among Black males, while none of the system involvement types were associated with chronic absenteeism or grade failure among White males. Findings highlight the need for the development of intervention strategies to address educational needs of youth involved in the CPS and juvenile justice systems, with a heightened attention to Black and male youth, to improve their attendance and academic performance.

儿童保护服务和少年司法系统参与对学业成果的影响：性别和种族差异

本研究的主要目的是检查系统参与类型（即仅儿童保护服务 [CPS]、仅少年司法系统和双重参与）和学业成果（即成绩不及旷工）。本研究使用了来自县青年法院、执法机构和 CPS 内公共青年服务机构记录的链接数据库中的记录。进行了多变量逻辑回归分析。系统参与对学业成果的影响在黑人男性中最为显着，而系统参与类型与白人男性的长期缺勤或成绩失败无关。
