Resources / Report / Drilling Down: Exploring Performance Measures to Improve Juvenile Justice

This Bulletin uses performance data collected from 10,718 juvenile probation cases closed between 2000 and 2006 by the Allegheny County Juvenile Probation Department located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to demonstrate the utility of juvenile justice outcome data beyond the report card.
