Youth Reoffending: Prevalence and Predictive Risk Factors in Two States (2024)

The Youth Protective Factors Study is an unprecedented multistate, multiyear examination of which risk and protective factors matter most when it comes to reoffending—particularly for more serious offenses that involve physical harm to another person (person offenses)—for youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system.

This brief is the first in a series that shares key findings to guide jurisdictions on research-based juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service strategies to improve public safety and youth outcomes. These find- ings are especially pertinent during a time of rising concerns about youth crime, violence, and victimization.
