The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is a component of the Office of Justice Programs, which also includes the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office for Victims of Crime. Foreword In the 1970's, the message issued by the research community concerning the use of prevention and treatment programs for juveniles was that "nothing works." This unfortunate and, as it turned out, erroneous conclusion, together with increasing serious juvenile delinquency, fueled confinement of larger numbers of juveniles throughout the 1980's. Juveniles were increasingly turned over to the criminal courts. These trends continue to this day. Now we find that treatment programs for juveniles do work-- and were working all the while. This report, the initial publication of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's What Works series, describes a variety of successful prevention and treatment programs in the juvenile justice system. Compiled by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, it represents the results of a nationwide survey of 3,000 juvenile justice professionals, including juvenile and family court judges, court administrators, probation officers, and line staff. The respondents nominated over 1,100 programs they deemed effective in their jurisdiction. After careful review, 425 programs merited designation as promising interventions. This compendium of successful programs should prove a valuable tool for juvenile justice professionals seeking appropriate prevention and treatment programs in order to deter future delinquency. According to a recent study, fewer juveniles (41 percent) returned to court on a second referral when an appropriate prevention or treatment program was initially chosen. To expedite your use of the information provided regarding these programs, a contact for further information accompanies the program description. We hope this report assists you in addressing the needs of youth and enhancing the effectiveness of your juvenile justice system. John J.

A single treatment modality, frequently the choice of reform schools of the past, has been replaced by broader and more comprehensive approaches to rehabilitation that consider the juvenile's needs, the safety of the community, and reparation of the victim. In addition, the perspective that treatment away from home is more effective than treatment near one's community has shifted. Statistics concerning intake decisions and subsequent juvenile court dispositions in 1991 reveals that about 60 percent of cases received probation, restitution, community service, or referrals to community programs instead of commitment to an institution (see Juvenile Court Statistics 1991). These contemporary approaches to juvenile rehabilitation represent an ideological shift of the juvenile justice system toward a more balanced approach and represent the importance of continuing to develop programs that work. The What Works project was designed to document this variety of effective prevention and treatment programs in use around the country. In September 1992, the National Center for Juvenile Justice and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges embarked on this task. We began a project to identify and assemble into a directory pertinent information available on effective prevention and treatment programs for juvenile offenders. Limited in our efforts to conduct an extensive evaluation of each program, we designed a research methodology that first identified essential components of effective programs including goals and objectives, community involvement, case management (assessment, treatment plan, interventions, and services), security and monitoring, behavior management (program and participant accountability), staff, an evaluation mechanism, and aftercare. We then asked 3,000 experienced judges, court administrators, and chief probation officers to nominate and rate programs they had recently used. We then sent surveys to the administrators of the nominated programs. The result of our efforts comprises What Works, a program directory that contains 425 nationally nominated programs. Each entry in the directory contains the program name, contact person, address, target population, gender, age, program type, type of administration, structure, staff, per diem rates, annual budgets, evaluation date, program summary, and primary intervention. To enable a user to identify programs in a specific area, programs are grouped under the primary intervention of a program, such as academic education, behavior management, community service, sex offender treatment, and substance abuse education. An alphabetic listing and target population index are contained in the back of the document to help the reader identify specific programs and target populations. The What Works directory is intended to inform and assist practitioners with planning and developing a program of their own by providing the most significant and reliable information possible on effective prevention and treatment programs for juvenile offenders Imogene Montgomery Principal Investigator The contents of this directory are, in most instances, presented as they were submitted by program administrators. Only minor changes and revisions were made to enhance clarity or to classify a program. Additional information about each program may be obtained by contacting program administrators directly.
