The Youth Protective Factors Study: Risk, Strengths, and Reoffending

NIJ announced this webinar on The Youth Protective Factors Study: Effective Supervision and Services Based on Risks, Strengths, and Development, an unprecedented, multistate, multiyear examination of the risk and protective factors that most influence reoffending—particularly serious offenses that involve physical harm to others—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system.  

Researchers recently released the first of a series of briefs associated with this study that provide key insights into the risk factors most associated with youth reoffending.  

Join The Council of State Governments Justice Center, UMass Chan Medical School, and the University of California–Berkeley as principal researchers share findings from this initial analysis, including research-based strategies for juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service delivery to enhance public safety and improve youth outcomes.
