Resource
Engaging the Arts Across the Juvenile Justice System
About
On a given day, more than 43,000 youths
who largely identify as students of color
and are disproportionately male are held
in residential placement facilities as a result
of involvement with the juvenile justice
system. More than two-thirds of youths living
in placement facilities who participated
in a national survey shared aspirations to
continue their education, with nearly half
wanting to pursue postsecondary education.
This Special Report explores research and programs that employ the arts along the juvenile justice continuum: in prevention, intervention, transition and healing.
