Notes:

"In 15 years, evidence-based practice in juvenile justice has moved from concept to full blown practice in a number of states which have used research-based principles and programs to completely reorganize their system for treating juveniles, reduced crime and recidivism, and saved money in the process. This Brief will describe the major players in this transformative process, and the particular role they play in moving research to practice."--Abstract, page ix.
