Webinar: Finding Opportunities for Juvenile Justice Reform During Tough Times

 
Juvenile Justice Reform in a Time of Tight Budgets

The financial collapse of 2008 and 2009 means that almost all states are facing alarming budget shortfalls. And one might think that juvenile justice reform efforts have to move to the back burner.
Yet far from being a time to hold back, now's the time to search for new opportunities to advocate for cost-effective juvenile justice reform. Fortunately, the National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) is here to help. It's sponsoring a webinar, Finding Opportunities for Reform During Difficult Fiscal Times on September 23, 2010, 10:30 am PDT / 11:30 am MDT / 12:30 pm CDT / 1:30 pm EDT. The webinar will provide examples from states that have succeeded in achieving progressive, fiscally-minded reforms, with specific insights from NJJN members and partners in Wisconsin, Ohio and Washington state. Register now.
