Title: Ramsey County All Children Excel (ACE) Promoting Resiliency in Children At Risk for Serious and Violent Delinquency. Preliminary Outcome Evaluation Study

Summary: The latest research on juvenile delinquency has major implications for policy makers. Up to 70% of all serious and violent juvenile crimes are committed by a small group of chronic offenders—only 8% of the adolescents in a typical community. Each chronic, serious and violent juvenile delinquent (SVJ) costs the community $1.7 to $3.4 million dollars over the course of his or her lifetime. The best predictor of who will become a chronic SVJ is early onset delinquency. On average, chronic SVJ start their criminal careers at age seven. Early onset offenders are committing increasingly serious crimes, raising concerns about rising rates of out-of-home placement and serious crime in the future. Only a handful of programs exist worldwide for early onset offenders. All Children Excel (ACE) is one of those programs. ACE offers a comprehensive, long term intervention that incorporates research-based strategies, supports the integration of services across government units, and promotes collaboration among police, schools, and community nonprofit organizations toward a common goal—preventing delinquency, substance abuse, and school dropout by promoting healthy development. This report focuses on evidence of the program’s effectiveness in identifying children who are on the path to becoming chronic SVJ, and early findings regarding its success at deflecting them from this path.
