The Future of Children has released its latest publication, Juvenile Justice.
Accompanying the journal is an Executive Summary and a Policy Brief. This volume
examines juvenile justice policies and practices with the goal of promoting reforms that
are based on solid evidence and acknowledge that adolescents differ from adults in ways
that policy ought to take into account. As editor Laurence Steinberg notes in the
Introduction, young people who come into contact with the juvenile justice system often
have other problems, many of which the juvenile justice system is ill-equipped to address
alone. The volume concludes that the “get-tough” reforms implemented during the past
two decades—reforms that criminalized delinquency and ignored the developmental
realities of adolescence—have been both unnecessarily costly and of questionable
effectiveness. This volume offers alternatives – policies that have not only been proven
effective, but save taxpayer dollars as well. http://www.futureofchildren.org/pubsinfo2825/pubs-info_show.htm?doc_id=708717

“Breaking the Cycle” Radio Dialogue. October 26, 2008 2:00-4:00 p.m. Brother Bey, the
founder of the Fraternal Order of X-Offenders, hosts a weekly radio show on W.O.L.B (1010 am)
that presents community-based, ex-offender driven efforts in Baltimore and elsewhere that are
helping to break the cycle of violence. The primary focus of the F.O.X.O.’s “Breaking The Cycle”
Radio Dialogue is to extend discussion, increase consideration of community-driven alternatives,
and initiate and expand the collective action needed to deter, decrease and prevent the pandemic
of juvenile delinquency and adult criminality gripping Baltimore and many other communities. The
radio show provides a voice to those attempting to change their thinking and behaviors, informing
ex-offenders, their families, and others of opportunities, increasing access to strategies that work,
and exposing those that don’t. You are invited to call in to the radio program at 410-481-1010. To
learn more about FOXO, visit their website at hhtp://www.foxo.us or email Brother Bey at
thinkingisdestiny@yahoo.com or brotherbey@foxo.us or call 410-262-4456. Information about
the new FOXO training DVD: The Psychology and Sociology of Criminology also is available on


Project P.E.A.C.E. (Proper Education Always Corrects Errors), a collaboration between
PAA and F.O.X.O. The P.E.A.C.E. program, developed and implemented by ex-offenders,
connects other ex-offenders with needed resources and uses the power of peer influence to
facilitate the cognitive restructuring and personal supports needed for successful re-integration.
“In order to truly make Baltimore safer, we need to help ex-offenders become productive citizens,”
Mayor Sheila Dixon said. “Project P.E.A.C.E. is going to help a lot of people fulfill their potential
and make meaningful contributions to those around them.” The P.E.A.C.E. program addresses a
variety of social and behavioral issues confronting ex-offenders, including: short term and long
term housing, emergency shelter, transitional housing, substance abuse, parenting, GED
services, employment and job placement, financial literacy and HIV/AIDS information and
education. In addition to the 12-Step Lifeskills Workshops and services such as emergency
shelter, transitional housing, and linkage to other services, the P.E.A.C.E. project provides
individual supports from individuals who have turned around their lives and who serve as mentors
and positive role models. For additional information or referrals, call Project P.E.A.C.E. at

REPORTS, RESEARCH & RECENT PUBLICATIONS
17. Using Adolescent Brain Research to Inform Policy: A Guide for Juvenile Justice Advocates.
This National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) Policy Brief reviews the current research on adolescent
brain development and its effect on young people's behavior, and discusses how to respectfully frame the
research in consideration of our youth allies. The brief also discusses how the research relates to positive
youth development, how it may be applied in other contexts, and how it relates to disproportionate
minority contact. http://njjn.org/resource_847.html [source: NJJN E-Newsletter]
18. Introduction to the Survey of Youth in Residential Placement. The Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published "Introduction to the Survey of Youth in Residential
Placement." The Survey of Youth in Residential Placement (SYRP) joins the Census of Juveniles in
Residential Placement and the Juvenile Residential Facility Census in OJJDP's constellation of surveys
providing updated statistics on youth in custody in the juvenile justice system. The bulletin, the first in a
series, describes SYRP's design and methodology. Subsequent bulletins will discuss survey findings.

19. The 1st Report to the Nation on Youth Courts and Teen Courts is now available: 1993 to 2008.
This national report documents significant highlights and events over a fifteen (15) year period of
unprecedented and historic growth of this groundbreaking American Juvenile Justice program that utilizes
volunteer youth to help sentence their peers. The report begins in 1993, when fewer than 75 local youth
and teen courts existed in just about a dozen states. The report concludes 15 years later in 2008, when
more than a record 1,000 local communities operate these local juvenile justice programs. Historic
numbers of youth and adults are now involved, as more than 111,868 juvenile cases were referred to
local youth and teen courts and more than 133,832 volunteers, to include both youth and adults who
volunteered to help with the disposition and sentencing of these juvenile cases. The report was
researched and written by Scott Bernard Peterson.

20. Critical Condition: African American Youth in the Justice System. The Campaign for Youth
Justice, sheds light on the lack of progress in reducing the vast disparities in treatment between AfricanAmerican and white youth over the past 20 years. The report highlights the fact that black youth continue
to be overrepresented at most stages in the justice system. Data show that African American youth
receive harsher treatment than whites from arrest through prosecution. Additionally, the overwhelming
majority (83%) of cases that were filed in adult courts involved youth of color.
