Creating Avenues to Success for Troubled Youth and Families
TCJC’s Juvenile Justice Initiative (JJI) advocates for juvenile justice policy solutions that maximize opportunities for troubled youth to become productive, law-abiding adults. Through educational outreach, JJI promotes reallocation of juvenile justice funding toward community-based alternatives to incarceration, treatment for substance abuse and mental health problems, juvenile drug courts, and restorative justice practices.
Investment in successful juvenile justice policies today will strengthen communities and result in long-term economic and public safety benefits for future Texans.
