本文采用个案研究的方法，考察了生活在美国南部的三名残疾青年的生活，他们走上了通往死囚牢区的道路。采用经验建立的发展和理论框架来审查与残疾和种族对儿童和青年的影响有关的问题，以及他们走向犯罪和犯罪的途径。通过犯罪学生活史研究方法，该研究展示了三个残疾青年所走过的道路，并展示了如何分析从这些生活故事中收集到的信息，从而创造出通往死囚牢区的新叙事。此外，这些叙事呈现给立法者和政策制定者已经影响了美国少年司法制度的改革。结合生活史研究和社会工作宣传提供了一种更有效和成功的方法，通过这种方法，可以请求和确保干预青少年通往死囚牢区的必要资源。最后，这项合作研究的努力促成了立法法案的通过，建立了早期干预预防逃学中心——这些中心是以这三个年轻人在小学时代的故事为基础的。
This article uses the case study method to examine the lives of three youths with disabilities living in the southern part of the United States who have followed a pathway to death row. An empirically established developmental and theoretical framework is used to examine issues related to the influence of disabilities and race on children and youths, and their pathway to delinquency and crime. Through criminological life‐history research methods, the study demonstrates the path taken by three youths with disabilities and showcases how the analysis of information gleaned from these life stories creates new narratives about pathways to death row. Moreover, the presentation of these narratives to legislators and policy‐makers has influenced reform in the American juvenile justice system. The combined use of life‐history research and social work advocacy provides a more effective and successful method by which to request and secure the resources necessary for intervening in the youth pathway to death row. Finally, this collaborative research effort has resulted in the passage of legislative acts that have created early intervention truancy prevention centers—centers based on the stories about these three young men in their elementary school years.
