| | Criminal Justice Resources Resources: Juvenile Justice |
 | | Juvenile justice programs that hold offenders accountable and provide rehabilitative, educational and health care services are found to be highly successful in warding off future offenses. |
 | | Researchers theorized that if juvenile offenders receive intensive intervention while they are incarcerated, during their transition to the community, and while they are under community supervision, they would benefit in such areas as family and peer relations, education, jobs, substance abuse, mental health, and recidivism. |
 | | Working with juvenile justice authorities in four States and a sample group of youthful offenders, the research team is implementing a working model to provide the youths with comprehensive, ongoing services (substance abuse counseling, social services, and mental health counseling) both while they are incarcerated and when they return to their communities. |
