More than 60 million Americans have at least one face-to-face contact with police a year. The age group most likely to have a police encounter are teenagers and people in their early 20s. Police officers typically handle those encounters the same as they would with any adult—but they shouldn’t, argues Lisa Thurau. She’s executive director of Strategies for Youth, which is a nonprofit that trains police departments to deal with adolescents more effectively. (Segment produced by Martha Harris)
