An editorial in the Wall Street Journal by Elizabeth Glazer, chair of the New York State Juvenile Justice Advisory Group and a member of the Governor's Task Force on Transforming Juvenile Justice, discusses the implications of the new report from theTask Force. In the report, the Task Force offers 20 recommendations for reducing the use of institutional placement and expanding alternatives; eliminating inequities across the system, particularly those that disproportionately impact youth of color; improving the supports and services provided to young people in state custody and upon release; and ensuring system accountability and transparency. The Task Force was staffed by the Vera Institute of Justice. Vera provided data analysis, insight into best practices, and logistical support.
