Abstract This
bulletin describes an intensive juvenile aftercare model
developed from a long-term OJJDP research initiative and
compares it with other approaches. An analysis of intensive
aftercare programs is also offered in light of the publication
of the University of Maryland report, Preventing Crime:
What Works, What Doesn't, What's Promising. This analysis
will assist in understanding what works - and what does
not - in reintegrating juvenile offenders into their communities. |

Abstract This
report highlights nine exemplary programs in seven states
and the District of Columbia that have demonstrated success
through collaborative, comprehensive services at a lower
per-capita cost than incarceration and have resulted in
improved public safety, lower costs, and positive investment
in the future. While the specific elements of an effective
reentry program may vary, the ultimate goal is the same:
to preserve public safety, reduce recidivism, and assist
individuals to achieve success. (authors) |

Abstract The
Prime Time Project is a comprehensive intervention model
for youth who are at the extreme end of the juvenile justice
continuum due to their history of repeat offending, relatively
severe offenses, a high degree of isolation or abandonment
from their natural community, and the co-occurrence of
mental health disorder. Prime Time was initiated in the
fall of 1995 in King County, Washington. The county council
awarded a two-year grant, recognizing that effective interventions
exist and that linkages and collaboration between agencies
and service providers play a role in successful intervention. |

Abstract This
retrospective study described the pre- and post- release
planning and service contacts for mentally ill juvenile
offenders. The study examined the effectiveness of transition
planning in reducing recidivism among mentally ill juvenile
offenders. Participants were mentally ill adolescent offenders
incarcerated for six months or more in one of three Washington
State Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA) institutions.
Retrospective chart and database reviews were conducted
on the participants in the final sample. Legal and medical
file data were examined to determine the extent to which
each youth received documented discharge planning and community
services. Computerized criminal records of all study participants
were examined for the year following community release
to document new adjudicated offenses. Youth with more identified
mental health and substance abuse needs received more services
and received a greater number of post-release discharge
planning contacts. Results indicate that even a low frequency
of post discharge transition planning and service provision
appears to have a positive impact on subsequent criminal
behavior. These findings are instructive to juvenile justice
administrators who are responsible for utilizing diminishing
resources in effective ways (authors). |

Abstract The
rehabilitation of serious, chronic juvenile offenders does
not end with their release from secure confinement. Effective
aftercare interventions are key to preventing recidivism
among this challenging population. In 1987, the Office
of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention established
a program to develop, assess, and disseminate an intensive
aftercare program targeted at these offenders. The program,
the Intensive Aftercare Program (IAP), seeks to reduce
recidivism among high-risk juvenile parolees by providing
a continuum of supervision and services during institutionalization
and after release. This bulletin provides an overview of
the IAP model and describes its implementation over the
first three years by participating sites in Colorado, Nevada,
New Jersey, and Virginia. The bulletin also assesses the
extent to which the implementation has been successful
and identifies the factors that facilitate implementation
and those that impede it. Available From: http://www.ojjdp.ncjrs.gov |
