Want to do a better job of diverting youth who commit status offenses from the juvenile justice system?

- The "National Standards for the Care of Youth Charged with Status Offenses,"
- Helpful legislative initiatives and advocacy tools;
- State and local initiatives that have been effective in diverting these youth from court;
- The new online Status Offense Reform Center from the Vera Institute of Justice, funded by Models for Change; and
- The work that Kentucky Youth Advocates, an NJJN member, is doing to end the incarceration of youth who commit status offenses in their state.
Presenters included:
