On October 2, 2024, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET, the Council of State Governments Justice Center, UMass Chan Medical School, and UC Berkeley’s Risk-Resilience Lab will host “The Youth Protective Factors Study: Risk, Strengths, and Reoffending.”
This webinar will present key findings from a brief highlighting findings from the Youth Protective Factors Study, “Youth Reoffending: Prevalence and Predictive Risk Factors in Two States.” This study, funded by the National Institute of Justice with support from OJJDP, and conducted by the UMass Chan Medical School, examined risk and protective factors that most influence reoffending—particularly serious offenses—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system. Presenters will share key findings from the initial analysis, including research-based strategies for juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and services to enhance public safety and improve youth outcomes.
