California places tens of thousands of juveniles into its 58 county-based justice systems every year. The offenders do not generally experience reduced rates of recidivism. Evidence-based practices can reliably and significantly reduce these rates. Probation departments have infrequently chosen to implement these practices, in large part because of the training, data collection, and organizational change required. Current state law does not effectively mandate these practices and more importantly fails to recognize and fund the substantial and ongoing training and technical assistance that would be required to implement these practices. State government could best promote evidence-based practices by working collegially with probation departments to obtain and distribute private and public funding to support effective implementation.
加州每年将成千上万的青少年送入其 58 个县级司法系统。这些罪犯通常不会经历更低的累犯率。循证实践可以可靠且显著地降低这些比率。缓刑部门很少选择实施这些实践，这在很大程度上是因为需要培训、数据收集和组织变革。现行州法律没有有效地强制实施这些实践，更重要的是，没有认识到并为实施这些实践所需的大量持续培训和技术援助提供资金。州政府可以通过与缓刑部门合作，获取和分配私人和公共资金来支持有效实施，从而最好地促进循证实践。
