New Resources Help Translate Juvenile Justice Research into Practice

The CSG Justice Center recently published the Juvenile Justice Research-to-Practice Implementation Resources, with support from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. These online resources provide juvenile justice agency managers, staff, and other practitioners with concrete strategies, tools, examples, and best-practice models to help them implement research-informed policies and practices and improve outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system.

The resources, organized by common challenges for juvenile justice programs and agencies, draw from the expertise of researchers and the promising practices identified by practitioners around the country. Each resource offers methods to address those common challenges, specifically in the areas of Family Engagement and Involvement and Evidence-Based Programs and Services.
