Title: Reforming Juvenile Detention in Texas

Summary: Given its costs and ill effects for juveniles and families, juvenile detention should only be ordered when a youth represents a risk to the public safety. Both re-offense rates and the number of youth failing to appear have decreased in jurisdictions reducing their detention populations. Risk assessments, deferred prosecution programs, evening reporting, and specialized dockets all provide avenues for more effective juvenile rehabilitation without relying on detention.
