Here's an interesting read on recidivism. This is one way we measure the long term success of our programs!

It's hard to compare when we only have older statewide data, but the recidivism rate of CRYJ's teens is around 11% right now. Way lower than the national average, and way lower than the state average! That mean that of the teens who successfully completed CRYJ, only 11% of them are involved in the justice system in the following three year period!

This brief highlights key findings based on the latest available data on recidivism rates.
