Evidence-Based Practices in Juvenile Justice

Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) in juvenile justice refer to strategies and interventions that are grounded in research and proven to be effective in reducing recidivism and improving outcomes for young offenders. These practices rely on data and rigorous studies to identify what works best for different youth populations. By focusing on programs that have demonstrated success, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or family engagement strategies, juvenile justice systems aim to rehabilitate instead of simply punishing, ultimately leading to safer communities and better futures for the youth involved.
