AUSTIN – The Texas Public Policy Foundation’s work in juvenile justice reform was recognized this week in The New York Times editorial titled Texas’s Progress on Juvenile Justice.

The achievements lauded by The New York Times were spearheaded by Marc Levin, Director of the Foundation’s Center for Effective Justice and Vikrant Reddy, Center for Effective Justice policy analyst. These TPPF scholars led the charge on effective juvenile justice reform in Texas.

As the NYT Editorial Board noted, their work “could eventually become a juvenile justice model for the nation.”
