Mathur  \nHeather Griller Clark  \nArizona State University  \nAbstract  \nBased on our research over the past ten years, we have identified six evidencebased transition practices that are critical for promoting youth success after release from secure care. Success, however, also relies heavily on the engagement of community partners and stakeholders who receive these youth after release. To further understand the construct of community engagement, we conducted a reintegration survey and held focus groups with stakeholders representing several agencies that provided services to youth from the juvenile justice system. We also interviewed youth to identify barriers in the transition process. The findings suggest that juvenile justice personnel need to consistently work in collaboration with community partners to generate and sustain the resources and awareness necessary to improve reentry outcomes for youth. Definitions of community engagement are offered and specific barriers and challenges that interfere with effective reentry are identified. Suggestions to improve reentry are included.  \nKeywords: transition, reentry, recidivism, juvenile justice, disabilities, community engagement  \nWhose job is it to get youth from the juvenile justice system posi  \ntively reengaged in the community after release? The parole or probation officer? The juvenile justice transition specialist? The social worker? The case manager? Or the community partner? All of these people are involved in the process, so it should be accepted as a mutual responsibility. Juvenile justice (JJ) facilities and communities must collaborate and support each other in the reentry process.  \nA truly collaborative system is one in which all agencies take it upon themselves, both individually and communally, to ensure that  \nThis study was made possible by a grant funded by the U.

Traditionally, JJ facilities have felt this responsibility heavily and are constantly under pressure to measure their success in terms of post incarceration outcomes for youth. Usually, this is in the form of juvenile arrests and recidivism rates. Although the recent reports on juvenile arrest rates for violent crimes show declining trends (Puzzanchera, 2013; Sickmund, Sladky, Kang, & Puzzanchera, 2011), post-release rates of success for youth and their engagement within communities is still unclear.  \nThe Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention indicates that the average recidivism rate for juvenile offenders is nearly 55% at 12 months post-release (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006) . Although engagement is viewed as an important indicator of successful transition and is considered at the center of programming for transition, it is not commonly understood. According to Bullis and Yavanoff, when a youth is engaged he/she is considered “employed, or enrolled in a school program, or working and going to school, and not arrested or placed back into the youth or adult criminal justice systems”(2002, p.70). Youth engagement is a multidimensional construct that consists of observable measures related to academic performance (e.g., highschool completion, GED, number of earned credits) and prosocial and desirable behavior (e.g., keeping regular attendance at school, getting along at work) as well as internal factors re","cbCaia89PaSJN88l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia89PaSJN88l","pdf",486636,22,"English","# Abstract\n# Community responsibility in reentry\n## Evidence and measures of youth engagement\n## Community engagement as a structured process\n# Background on community engagement initiatives","[{\"question\":\"What practices are identified as critical for youth success after release?\",\"answer\":\"The research identifies six evidence-based transition practices that are critical for promoting youth success after release from secure care.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is community engagement important for reentry outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Reentry success depends heavily on the engagement of community partners and stakeholders who receive youth after release, and juvenile justice personnel must collaborate to sustain needed resources and awareness.\"},{\"question\":\"How does community engagement differ from youth engagement?\",\"answer\":\"Youth engagement is a multidimensional construct related to academic, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional measures, while community engagement is a planned process where agencies work together to address community issues.\"}]","EDUCATION AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN - Vol. 37 - No. 4 - Community Engagement for Reentry Success of Youth from Juvenile Justice: Challenges and Opportunities | PDF",1792091099,55]
