New Report on Youth with Disabilities in Juvenile Justice System ANNOUNCEMENT **************************************** "A Better Path, A Better Future" One of the goals of juvenile justice programming is to prevent recidivism and to support youth to successfully rejoin their communities upon release. Incarcerated youth with disabilities – including youth with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral disturbances – are at a higher risk for recidivism than youth without disabilities, and too often experience negative post-release outcomes. “A Better Path, A Better Future” [z.umn.edu/A-Better-Path] is a new report describing three innovative projects that have developed strategies for improving the reentry of youth with disabilities from juvenile justice facilities into school, community, employment, and family. The report, published by the Institute on Community Integration (ICI), University of Minnesota, is co-authored by Project RISE at Arizona State University, Project STAY OUT at the University of Oregon, and the MAP Project at ICI. |
