Abstract: This article discusses the feasibility of conducting educational research in juvenile justice settings from two divergent perspectives, researchers and juvenile justice agency/facility staff. An inquiry into feasibility, barriers, facilitators, and areas in need of research was conducted with the two groups of participants. Differences in each category, as well as subthemes between researchers and agency/facility staff, are discussed. The implications address the need to ensure rigorous research while also adhering to the facility's processes and procedures and simultaneously improving outcomes for youth. Suggestions for improving research efforts in juvenile justice facilities are offered.
