Making Youth Court as Effective as Possible
This eight (8) page technical assistance bulletin examines program in the state of Kentucky over a twelve year period.  It provides some solid ideas for what to do and what not to do.  It is important to note Kentucky is one of the few states where the programs are operated more similar than other states where local programs within a state can operate them very different, albeit with similar outcomes anticipated.  This bulletin was funded and published by the ABA and OJJDP.   Deborah Williamson, James Wells, Mabel McKinney-Browning, and Scott B. Peterson are responsible for this technical assistance bulletin enhancing the Global Youth Justice Movement.
