The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ) has released a new CaseStudy publication, When Systems Collaborate: How Three Jurisdictions Improved their Handling of Dual-Status Cases. This new resource highlights the efforts of three jurisdictions using innovative practices to coordinate information and services for dual status youth — those involved in both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems. The first case study focuses on timely identification and screening of dual-status youth. The second example explores coordination of services for dual-status cases that are under community supervision or probation, while the third profile describes efforts in a state to improve reentry and aftercare services for this challenging population.
