Study Supports Community-Based Options for Juvenile Offenders
A new report suggests that community-based options may be more effective than incarceration for some youth convicted of serious offenses. The Pathways to Desistance (PDF) research finds that placement in a juvenile facility appears to have no advantage over probation in reducing recidivism rates or instances of self-reported offenses. Even among youth committing serious (often violent) offenses, 90 percent turned away from serious offending after involvement with the court and were able to live successfully in their communities. The ongoing research, which grew out of the work of the MacArthur Research Network on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice, follows 1,354 juvenile offenders, their family members, and friends over a seven-year period. The report was released at the annual conference of MacArthur’s Models for Change juvenile justice reform initiative in Washington, DC, where representatives from the 16 participating states met to share information and exchange ideas. Models for Change seeks to create successful and replicable models of juvenile justice reform through targeted investments in key states.
