New “Juvenile Justice Resource Hub” Gathers Information on Juvenile Justice Trends Nationwide

A new website is gathering information on juvenile justice issues and best practices nationwide.  The site, created by the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange (JJIE) and funded by the MacArthur Foundation, is in its early stages and still developing.  When completed, it will focus on six areas:
  1. mental health and substance abuse,
  2. community-based alternatives,
  3. evidence-based practices,
  4. juvenile indigent defense,
  5. aftercare, and
  6. racial-ethnic fairness.
JJIE is also providing investigative journalism for these topic areas.  Check out the new website at:  http://jjie.org/hub/.
