TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Combatting othering and inspiring hope: a unique approach to teaching about juvenile justice JO - Journal of criminal justice education A1 - VanderPyl, Taryn SP - 456 EP - 475 VL - 29 IS - 3 N2 - This case study was conducted to evaluate the experience of students in one university course about juvenile justice and one community partnership working together to create a unique learning experience for two very distinct groups of young adults. One of the groups involved justice-involved young men and their parole officers; the other group involved college students enrolled in the course. University students learned civic engagement is not charity, but rather it is working alongside a community partner toward a joint goal. All participants disrupted the "othering" that commonly exists between two such disparate groups. Finally, the community participants gained hope through experiencing a college course firsthand and being able to see themselves as college students. The success of this collaboration was demonstrated thoroughly through informal feedback, formal reflections, course evaluations, and participant observation.
