DESCRIPTION
The RFK National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice has pioneered an analytic approach that can be used in partnership with state and local jurisdictions to enhance probation department and juvenile justice system performance. This approach is detailed in our Probation and Youth Justice System Review Guidebook and forms the basis for the System Reform Training. This 1.5 day training provides an opportunity for the leaders of your state or local system to learn about the key areas of probation system practice and policy that must be examined and aligned with national best practices in order to achieve optimal youth and system outcomes.

  2. Build collaborative support to examine the current system and embrace best practices throughout the continuum of a youth’s journey within the juvenile justice system.
  3. Expedite the acceptance and implementation of best practices.
