A new report about how New York’s juvenile justice system has been operating for the past three years is now available from Vera’s Center on Youth Justice (CYJ). Widening the Lens 2008 tracks four key areas of the system—court referrals, detention, court processing, and disposition—to offer insight into how county and state agencies are serving youth. The goal is to help officials monitor the system, alert managers to demographic shifts or policy changes, and allow stakeholders to identify promising trends and opportunities for reform. Widening the Lens 2008 is a follow-up to the state’s first-ever set of juvenile justice indicators, which CYJ and the New York State Task Force on Juvenile Justice Indicators published in 2007.
