Description
Maryland’s Pathway to Reducing Juvenile Incarceration
Over the past decade many strategies have been implemented resulting in more than an 80% reduction in juvenile incarceration. In this talk, participants will explore how alternatives to detention, agency policies and practices, the COVID19 pandemic, and Maryland’s newest juvenile justice reform laws impact how young people experience our state juvenile justice system. Moreover, the presentation will focus on applying a race equity lens to reform, advocacy and essential partnerships to increase system fairness and effectiveness.
