Abstract
The Youth Protective Factors Study is an unprecedented, multistate, multiyear examination of which risk and protective factors are most significant when it comes to reoffending—especially for serious offenses—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system. This brief is the third in a series that shares key findings from the study to inform juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service strategies aimed at improving public safety and youth outcomes.
