This handbook promotes a comprehensive strategy founded on
evidence-based programming for juvenile justice systems to adopt or
enhance their current system. The comprehensive strategy is
supported strongly by the broad research base that is now
available. This strategy recognizes, first, that a relatively small
proportion of the juveniles who initially enter the juvenile
justice system will prove to be serious, violent, or chronic
offenders, but that group accounts for a large proportion of the
overall amount of delinquency. An important component of a
comprehensive evidence-based juvenile justice system, therefore, is
distinguishing these offenders from others and focusing attention
and resources on that smaller group. Second, a comprehensive
strategy recognizes that serious, violent, or chronic delinquency
emerges along developmental pathways that progress from less to
more serious profiles of offending. Priority must be given to
interrupting these offender careers by calibrating the level of
supervision and control of the juveniles' behavior to their level
of risk. The third major component of a comprehensive strategy,
therefore, is effective intervention programs that are capable of
reducing the recidivism of those juveniles at risk for further
delinquency. The Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and
Chronic Juvenile Offenders is an administrative framework that
supports a continuum of services that parallel the development of
offender careers. This framework emphasizes evidence-based
programming specifically on recidivism reduction, and supports
protocols for developing comprehensive treatment plans that match
effective services with offender treatment needs along the
life-course of delinquent careers, as they move from intake onward,
to probation, community programs, confinement, and reentry.
Juvenile justice systems will benefit from incorporation of a
comprehensive strategy as provided in the handbook.
