Session Submission Summary

NIJ-Supported Research on Understanding and Measuring Juvenile Reoffending

Thu, Nov 17, 5:00 to 6:20pm, A703, Atrium Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel will present findings from a portfolio of federally-funded research examining how approaches to data and measurement affect tracking and understanding juvenile reoffending, and the implications for juvenile justice practice and programming. Specifically, this panel will highlight (1) the current national landscape and best practices of juvenile recidivism measurement, (2) the impact of measurement approaches on rates and predictors of juvenile recidivism, (3) the effect of dynamic risk trajectories on understanding recidivism and the use of risk assessment, and (4) the dynamic impact of needs scores on predictions of recidivism and the implications for programming.
