Juvenile Justice

A multi-year implementation and impact evaluation of Roca, Inc.’s High Risk Youth Intervention Model

CJI is collaborating as the local action research partner with the city of Fall River, MA. CJI staff are working closely with Fall River partners to use data to help guide and assess collaborative efforts to reduce youth gang violence.

The State of Massachusetts, through the Department of Youth Services (DYS) and with other Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) partners, is in the process of implementing detention reform in four Massachusetts counties with technical assistance from CJI.

CJI collaborated with Cornerstones for Kids and CPS Human Resource Services to conduct a national assessment of the condition of the juvenile justice workforce, to explore the impact of juvenile justice reform on the workforce, and to produce a report on aligning workforce efforts with reform goals.
