Evidence-Based Practice in Juvenile Justice
Promoting Evidence‐Based Practice in Delinquency Prevention at the State Level
New Standards for Demonstrating Program Effectiveness
The Prosecutor's Early Intervention Program (PEIP), which was developed by The Family Service Division of the District Attorney's Office in Louisiana's 16th Judicial District, provides an excellent example of how local stakeholders can respond, in an evidence-based manner, to the perceived need for early prevention efforts in juvenile justice, and the standards they must meet to have their program recognized as one “that works” on various clearin…
Overview of
Research Summary Evidence‐based practice in the field of delinquency prevention has come a long way in the last 15 years in the United States. This progress has been aided by several leading organizations and researchers providing authoritative and up‐to‐date lists of what works, the application of cost–benefit models, and some political leaders championing this movement over “get tough” practices. State governments are on the cutting edge of thi…

Diverting Children from a Life of Crime
In combating crime in America, little attention has been paid to keeping children from becoming criminals. What benefit might be realized from such an approach, and at what cost
Responding to Juvenile Crime
Although the dispositional options for delinquent youths have diversified over the past 20 years, the debate about the most effective treatment of young offenders continues. This article reviews the existing evaluations of various juvenile corrections alternatives. In contrast to the conclusions of scholars in the late 1970s that "nothing worked" in juvenile corrections, Mark Lipsey's 1992 meta-analysis of more than 400 evaluations of juvenile pr…
Evaluation of the Paint Creek Youth Center
A classic experimental design was used to determine whether youths assigned to a small experimental program, designed to offer a comprehensive and highly structured array of intervention services and activities, actually received significantly different treatment, and performed better, than control youths assigned to traditional training schools. Interviews with staff and youths suggest that the experimental program did deliver significantly more…
Differences in Criminal Behavior and Court Responses among Juvenile and Young Adult Defendants
The peak ages of criminality fall between the sixteenth and twentieth birthdays, with participation rates falling off rapidly for older age groups. Young men under the age of twenty-one account for half of all felony arrests. However, these arrest figures tend to overestimate the seriousness of the youthful offender crime problem somewhat because their crimes tend to be less serious and are committed in groups. There is a strong and direct connec…
Factors Affecting Sentence Severity for Young Adult Offenders
Analyzes several samples of young males arrested for either armed robbery or residential burglary in three sites: Los Angeles County, California; Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada; and King County (Seattle), Washington
