Description: New York's juvenile justice system has reached a point of extreme crisis. With increasing frequency, reports of fundamental breakdowns throughout the system have come to the public's attention. The city and state governments have responded with substantial reform plans. In light of this increasing attention and the complexity of the juvenile justice system in New York, the Crime Commission has developed a Guide to Juvenile Justice in New York City to enhance the public's understanding of the City's juvenile justice policies.

"... the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City has developed a Guide to Juvenile Justice in New York City, to enhance the public's understanding of the City's juvenile justice policies and practices, which can often be confusing. This guide provides an overview of New York City's juvenile justice system with historical context, and highlights the recent efforts made by the City and State to expand alternative programs available to court-involved youth." -- P. ii.
