Re-imagining the Youth Justice System
Los Angeles County is reimagining the youth justice system. The county’s probation department will no longer house young people in detention halls and facilities – instead, the county is creating the Department of Youth Development. The Department of Youth Development seeks to “…design a restorative, health-focused, care-first youth justice system.” The groundwork for this shift was outlined in an October report released by The Youth Justice Work Group of Los Angeles County which can be read here. An article about the changing system can be accessed here. |
