2 results foundAuthor: Daly, Reagan Title: Capital Change: A Process Evaluation of Washington, DC's Secure Juvenile Placement Reform Summary: A growing body of research has persuaded most experts and many practitioners that punitive responses to juvenile offenders —particularly those placed in secure facilities — yield poor results for the youth involved and for public safety. Informed by this consensus, in 2005 officials in Washington, DC’s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) began planning a comprehensive reform of the agency’s responses to youth in secure placement. This report presents findings from a year-long process evaluation of the reforms, in which Vera researchers explored both the strategy the agency used and factors that affected the implementation process.

Author: DC Lawyers for Youth Title: Debunking Urban Legends: Data Shows Summer Heat, Vacation Have Not Led to More Youth Arrests Summary: This spring, like many in the past, policymakers have warned that youth crime will increase come summer. This forecast is based, in large part, on the belief that youth crime typically increases over the summer weeks when it is hot and youth are out of school. However, according to data provided by Metropolitan Police Department regarding the date of arrests for juveniles between 2007 and 2010, youth were actually arrested less frequently during summer when compared to the rest of the year. Moreover, a review of the data reveals that juvenile arrests are actually quite volatile and do not follow a distinct cycle or pattern. Thus, while arrests may rise or fall in the summer of 2011, the data shows this will be due to factors not associated with a change in season or youth being on vacation from school.
