The Lancet's COVID-19 Resource Centre: the stoppage of school referrals to the justice system in the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more.

New COVID-19 Content is Now Available

Dear Victor Norberto,

New this week: A global pandemic caused society to radically and quickly reconfigure. Schools, wary of the health risks of in-person instruction, shifted to virtual learning. Although not ideal in many respects, this shift placed adolescents in the USA out of the reach of harsh school disciplinary procedures (i.e., zero tolerance policies, out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, and law enforcement referrals), contributing to a drastic reduction in juvenile court referrals nationally. A Comment in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health discusses the stoppage of school referrals to the justice system in the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the Comment here.

We hope you find the Resource Centre on COVID-19 to be informative. 

Yours sincerely,

The Lancet
