Making the Case for Smart Juvenile Prosecution

Juvenile discipline cases – which used to be handled at school and at home – now find their way onto the desk of overburdened prosecutors who, for decades, would move forward with traditional forms of juvenile prosecution: trial, sentencing, and detention. Unfortunately, as this formula has led to a growth in juvenile recidivism rates and today, prosecutors are rethinking their involvement. Through the cooperation families, schools, churches, and support networks of the offender, juveniles are more successfully rehabilitated outside of the system at a lower cost to the taxpayer.

Join us for a Policy Primer event where we discuss how prosecutors are changing the juvenile justice system.
