Abstract

Over the past 15 years, research has identified a number of program models and strategies that are effective in reducing juvenile delinquency. This paper discusses four major ways in which effective programs and strategies are identified. A summary discussion of what works and what doesn't work in prevention, community-based interventions, and institutional settings is presented. Despite the knowledge of effective programs, evidence-based programming is still the exception. The paper concludes with recommendations for adopting and expanding the use of effective programs.

This article is based on material from an article that first appeared in The Future of Children, a publication of The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and The Brookings Institution.
