Stoneleigh Visiting Fellow Robert Schwartz and Diane Geraghty, Stephen Phillippi, and Bobbe Bridge present, in the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange, the major changes made by Models for Change to the juvenile justice system.
The work done during the Models for Change Initiative (funded by the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation) has embedded structural and practice improvements that continue to influence policy change in juvenile justice toward a more developmentally oriented and equitably responsive system.
These reflections from leaders in the core states — Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and Washington state — illustrate the continuing legacy of this wave of juvenile justice reform.
