NeMoyer, Drexel:

Philly diversion
Reform for youth increased rates
But not by case type

(Showing that expanding eligibility criteria increased use of JJ diversion, but did not really expand which case types were diverted.

Jian, Albany:
Banning JJ fees
Simply replaced with more fines
Linked to recid. risk

(Speaking about banning juvenile justice system fees led county to impose more fines instead-also differences in who received reductions in financial sanctions overall)

Personality
Tools for kids fail to measure
Critical pieces!

BUT some of it’s in
how we measure ODD,
Just in a “risk” way.

I got mine as a kid when I still had baby teeth. Had one that couldn't fall out bc, obviously, it was held in place by a bracket. Cracked in half right above the bracket (so still held in!) from the pressure of the adult tooth behind it. Not a pleasant experience.
