Rebuilding the Infrastructure for At-Risk Youth

National Council on Crime and Delinquency

This month's featured report by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency takes a closer look at the effect that the Bush Administration has had on the support system for at-risk youth. The report details, program by program, how funding has been cut for critical youth services and what the possible implications for each of these cuts might be.

But this isn't just a well-supported criticism of the last administration's policies, it also gives those of us who aren't involved with this work on a daily basis a much clearer idea about why these programs - whether they are after-school programs that keep kids out of trouble or services that improve the conditions for youth already in juvenile detention facilities - matter so much.

Some key facts:

* With another 40% cut in federal funding this year, some estimate that nearly 300,000-600,000 children will no longer have access to after-school care.

* Currently, only 53 of 3,500 juvenile facilities, or 1.5%, are accredited for facility health care.

* Today, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system; in over a dozen states, the rate of incarceration for girls has increased over 30% since 1997.

Special Research Collections

Increasingly IssueLab is being asked to host and disseminate collections of research that are either especially relevant to particular communities of practice or that comprise a single organization's publication history. Although we have just started doing this kind of work we have already gathered some incredible, and hard to find, research.

Chicago Coalition for the Homeless Research and Publications

Committee for Economic Development Library

NeighborWorks America - Reports and Studies

Open Educational Resources Repository

Special Collection on Evaluating Communications Efforts

IssueLab Recognized As Webby Honoree

The Webby's chose to recognize IssueLab as "a work exhibiting remarkable achievement". Out of the nearly 10,000 entries submitted to the 13th Annual Webby Awards, less than 15% are awarded the status of Official Honorees. And IssueLab is among them!

Thanks to all our readers and to all of the nonprofits who contribute their research to this growing collection. We are so pleased to be doing this work and to be sharing this incredible body of research with an ever larger audience!
