In 2021, North Carolina’s juvenile delinquency rate decreased, while more youth were detained in secure custody than in 2020, according to a presentation today from officials with the Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
How many college interns can say their projects can leave a lasting impact on future youth as they re-enter society after spending time in the state juvenile justice system? Hannah Ridgeway and Julia Husk can say a definitive “Yes,” though neither gave that much of a thought during their recent internship with the Community Programs section of the Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Second chances are important for both adults and juveniles who have been involved in the criminal justice system. One way the Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention helps to prepare juveniles to reenter their home communities is the Reentry to Resilience (R2R) model, created from a pilot project between the DJJDP, Communities in Schools NC, and RTI International.
