The original Juvenile Court was based on a rehabilitation philosophy.  Throughout the years, this objective was replaced with a Just Deserts “get tough” approach, fueled in part from the 1974 conclusions of Robert Martinson’s that “nothing works.”  Since then, there have been 48 years of data documenting that this conclusion is not true.  In fact, many are calling for the return of rehabilitation as a smart approach to youth crime, using evidence-based practices that work.
The Blueprints Model Programs document the evidence -based practices that are known to be effective in the juvenile justice field.
