Why is it important?

Teenagers who are incarcerated tend to have substantially worse outcomes later in life than their peers. Not only are the costs to the individual high, but the costs to society are high as well. This book is grounded on the most effective practices to date for supporting youth as they transition from facilities back into the community in an attempt to increase successful long-term outcomes.

Perspectives

This book was created by international experts. It opens the door to sharing and collaboration toward better outcomes for all youth from around the world.
