Abstract
This report offers a snapshot of how the U.S. criminal justice fails lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth. This report is a companion to a larger report released in February 2016 entitled Unjust: How the Broken Criminal Justice System Fails LGBT People. That report focuses on the larger LGBT population and provides more detailed analyses and statistics, innovative programs and personal stories, and detailed recommendations. This companion report is designed to highlight the key issues that arise for LGBTQ youth within the criminal justice system.
