at Historic Levels for Youth Justice
It is estimated that approximately 8,225 youth volunteered as jurors, attorneys, and other roles in these local programs back in 1993. In 2011, it is estimated (based on scientific data collection) that a staggering 117,310 youth volunteered as jurors, attorneys, and other roles in these 1,264 local programs based on research and data compiled by George Washington University. This represents an increase of approximately 1,400% in the number of youth who now volunteer in these local programs during a one year period.
There are now programs in the United Kingdom, as a result of the first program beginning in England in 2007. Japan and South Korea both have documented programs that have now been established. Germany, Russia, France, and Canada are in various stages of developing and researching the establishment of a program. Australia established their first program in 2010.
