OJJDP is seeking proposals to develop standards to document and measure juvenile reentry service delivery, practices, and outcomes.
The project will identify key indicators of effective reentry practice and successful outcomes for juveniles starting at the confinement decision, moving through reintegration into the community, and for a meaningful period post-release.
Research will look at public safety (e.g., crime and recidivism) and positive developmental milestones (e.g., reenrollment in school) and family engagement for youth reentering the community.
The goal of this initiative is to develop measurement standards for juvenile reentry practices that will help guide states, and localities in assessing, measuring, and understanding juvenile reentry practice and outcomes.
