Juvenile Justice

In recent years, juvenile justice programs have had to compete for ever-dwindling resources. SWS has provided services to juvenile justice organizations and to organizations that receive funding directly or indirectly from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Our evaluations for juvenile justice programs have been used not only to improve program effectiveness, but also to assist programs in obtaining continuation funding and funding from other sources. In addition, SWS has provided studies that have resulted in recognized evidence based practices.
