About this event
The Youth Protective Factors Study: Effective Supervision and Services Based on Risks, Strengths, and Development is an unprecedented multistate, multiyear examination of the risk and protective factors that most influence reoffending—particularly serious offenses that involve physical harm to others—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system.?
Researchers recently released the first of a series of briefs associated with this study, “Youth Reoffending: Prevalence and Predictive Risk Factors in Two States,” which provides key insights into what risk factors are most associated with youth reoffending, especially for serious offenses. Analyzing data from over 32,000 youth across 2 states, the brief offers guidance on improving juvenile justice supervision and services. Principal researchers Gina Vincent and Jennifer Skeem will share key findings for this initial analysis, including research-based strategies for juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service delivery to enhance public safety and improve youth outcomes.?
