Submitted by crinadmin on Fri, 18/07/2008 - 06:12

This 19th annual KIDS COUNT Data Book provides national and state-by-state information and statistical trends on the conditions of America’s children and families.

This year, the KIDS COUNT Data Book essay, “A Road Map for Juvenile Justice Reform,” looks at the nearly 100,000 youth confined to juvenile facilities on any given night in the United States, and what can be done to reduce unnecessary and inappropriate detention and incarceration and increase opportunities for positive youth development and community safety.
