Dr. Gayle Dakof was nominated to serve as a member of the Girls Study Group

The Girls Study Group is an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners that has been convened by OJJDP to develop a comprehensive research foundation for understanding and responding to girls’ involvement in delinquency. The Study Group members provide complementary and multidisciplinary backgrounds and experiences that encompass the range of knowledge needed to understand and explain female delinquency. The group includes sociologists, psychologists, criminologists, gender studies experts, as well as those with legal and girls program development experience. The group will be supported by RTI staff working under the leadership of Dr. Margaret Zahn, a nationally renowned criminologist. RTI is well-positioned to provide support to this Study Group, consisting of some of the most well-respected names in the study of female delinquency.
