Research shows that the average delinquency rate is 47 percent higher for children and youth who have been neglected or abused. Young persons involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems are considered “dual jurisdiction.” In many cases, children in the welfare system are moved from a system of care to a system of punishment and rehabilitation once they commit an offense. American Humane has developed an innovative restorative process that addresses both accountability and care in dual-jurisdiction cases. This webinar will provide an introduction to this groundbreaking model and a discussion of how it can effectively change the ways in which juvenile justice and child welfare systems collaborate for the benefit of youth and children.
