A Decade of Progress: Probation's Success with Juvenile Realignment

SESSION INFO

Wednesday, August 21, 2019
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop

As tracked over a decade, California reached historic lows in arrest rates and detention rates for the targeted juvenile population, a positive change that occurred in the face of realigning the population to local control. This workshop will cover this welcome development and its underpinnings, including a helpful review of the practices and political environment that led California to take constructive steps and achieve such results.
