Juvenile Justice, Education and Employment. Children and Youth Issue Paper Series, Report I.
Polivka, Larry
This document is a report of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services on juvenile justice, education, and employment designed to present policy formation, identify major policy implications, document the extent to which former deficiencies have been remedied, and establish a policy foundation for future program development. The major findings of the report are described as the following: (1) current preventive efforts in the juvenile justice system are limited and there is little evidence that even these limited prevention programs are effective; (2) the single intake system has not increased diversion rates or lowered detention rates; (3) youth services have made enormous progress over the past several years in the development of community program alternatives to training schools; (4) educational resources, such as reading development, can greatly reduce or prevent juvenile crime; and (5) the creation of employment opportunities represents another resource for preventing delinquency.
