The US justice system unfairly targets youths of color; systemic reform plus interventions to keep youths out of the justice system are needed. The Juvenile Justice Collaborative provided care coordination and wraparound services to adolescents in a diversion program from 2017 to 2019 in Cook County, Illinois. Youths showed increased strengths and decreased needs by program's end. Youths who successfully completed the program showed reduced recidivism compared with nonprogram youths. Community-based alternatives to incarceration may decrease life disruption, promote positive health and social outcomes, and reduce further justice involvement.

美国司法系统不公平地针对有色人种青少年；需要进行系统改革和干预，以防止青少年涉足司法系统。2017 年至 2019 年，伊利诺伊州库克县的青少年缓刑转处计划中，青少年司法合作组织为青少年提供了护理协调和全面服务。到项目结束时，青少年的优势有所增加，需求有所减少。与非项目青少年相比，成功完成该项目的青少年累犯率有所降低。基于社区的替代监禁措施可能会减少生活中断，促进积极的健康和社会结果，并减少进一步的司法介入。（2022 年；112（9）：1265-1268。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306946）。
