The Long-Term Effects of Juvenile Transfer Laws
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, February 2, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Methods for transferring youthful offenders to the adult criminal justice system have been available since the inception of the separate juvenile justice system. During the "tough on crime” era, law and policy expanded the eligibility and methods for youth to be transferred in an effort to deter criminal offending and reduce recidivism. The true result however has been hundreds of thousands of youth sentenced each year within the adult system who experience higher rates f recidivism. These youth experience long-lasting negative effects across their life-course to the detriment of community safety and rehabilitative efforts. This workshop will examine how we move forward with transfer in an effective evidence-based manner.
