Nevada’s Statewide Approach to Reducing Recidivism and Improving Outcomes for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System
As a result of participating in Improving Outcomes for Youth: A Statewide Juvenile Justice Initiative (IOYouth), Nevada passed legislation that supports the adoption and implementation of key policy and practice changes to the state’s juvenile justice system. This report summarizes the IOYouth process in Nevada, key findings from the CSG Justice Center’s comprehensive assessment of Nevada’s juvenile justice system, and AB472, the bill that Nevada’s legislature passed to address the challenges identified in the assessment. The first state selected to participate in IOYouth, Nevada will continue to receive guidance from the CSG Justice Center to implement the new policies and track implementation progress as well as youth outcomes.
The CSG Justice Center recently launched a new project to analyze and ultimately strengthen Indiana’s juvenile justice system.
