PACEs in Youth Justice

Discussion of Transition and Reentry issues of out of home (treatment, detention, sheltered, etc.) youth back to their families and communities. Frequently these youth have fallen behind in their schooling, have reduced motivation, and lack skills to navigate requirements to successfully re-enter school programs or even to move ahead with their dreams.

New Tool Will Help Form Responses to Adolescent Domestic Battery [JJIE.org]

Samantha Sangenito 8/12/165:27 PM

In December 2015, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundationpublished the “Adolescent Domestic Battery Typology Tool” to improve the way the juvenile justice system responds when a youth is facing arrest or system involvement for battering a parent or caregiver. To those outside the juvenile justice system, it might be surprising that such a tool would be needed. Those who work in or with the system might well wonder, “What took us so long?”

The good news is that the tool is now available to help guide system responses, including possible diversion from arrest and/or detention, case processing and treatment decisions in adolescent domestic battery (ADB) cases. The culmination of a multiyear, cross-site and cross-state effort, the tool has its origins in the Illinois Models for Change Initiative, for which Loyola University Chicago served as lead entity.
