Involvement with the juvenile justice system can impact young
people's physical and mental health and well-being throughout their
lives, as well as the health and well-being of their families and
communities. Youth of color are more likely to become involved with
the juvenile justice system, and suffer worse outcomes in
sentencing, during incarceration, and after release. The National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on
the Promotion of Health Equity convened a workshop to discuss the
impact that juvenile justice system involvement has on the health
and well-being of adolescents, families, and communities of color;
examine policies that are successful in improving outcomes; and
explore what needs to be done to improve all aspects of encounters
with the juvenile justice system. The workshop suggested pursuing
alternatives to traditional juvenile justice systems that would
allow adolescents to stay in their communities rather than in
detention, responding to behavioral problems in youth with
interventions that promote health and positive development rather
than punishment, and tailoring interventions and programming to
participants' cultural background and gender identity. This report
summarizes the proceedings of the workshop. Table of Contents Front
