Research shows what many of us intuitively understand: Poverty is about much more than money; it is inextricably intertwined with other problems. Tackle it as a first priority and other maladies substantially abate. Read @westernbruce of @CUJusticeLab: vitalcitynyc.org/articles/sl…

Be sure to read @CUJusticeLab's latest report detailing the process and challenges as Harris County created the first-of its-kind Youth Justice Reinvestment Fund in Texas earlier this year.

High incarceration communities have experienced decades of discrimination & divestment leading some young people into the system. The reinvestment fund puts $ back into neighborhoods to keep kids out of that cycle. bit.ly/3uXjKcB @CUJusticeLab @LauraArnoldFdn @abauman2

Columbia's @CUJusticeLab released a fascinating new report about Harris County's youth justice reinvestment fund, touting it as a model for other places. The fund aims to keep kids out of the detention system by investing $4 million in local nonprofits.

Good to see Harris County's pioneering juvenile justice efforts recognized. Positive pathways for youths can interrupt a trajectory towards crime. In most cases that do arise, effective diversion programs are the best option to curtail delinquency while keeping families together.

NEW REPORT: We can’t fight crime by locking up more of our kids. Incarceration damages young people’s physical and mental health, impedes their educational and career success, and often exposes them to abuse. bit.ly/3FwZFij

While police read minors their Miranda rights, many can’t understand what that actually means, according to defense lawyers who represent juvenile clients. A proposed bill would require minors to speak with a lawyer before waiving their rights.

Amid a broader debate over law enforcement budgets, reform advocates like @YouthJusticeLA are asking whether helicopters bring value to public safety worth the costs incurred and harms inflicted.

The research clear: Education reduces recidivism. Yet access to higher education in prisons “often comes down to a matter of geography — and luck.” @CUJusticeLab

Report by @hrw and @ACLU shows how poverty (e.g., inability to pay rent) is too often misconstrued as neglect and interpreted as lack of fitness to parent. @CUJusticeLab tinyurl.com/yphxsesw
