New Work on Restorative Community Pathways (RCP)

My report on the Restorative Community Pathways (RCP) program, which is a juvenile diversion program, for King County and the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office is now available. This is part of a longer-term project that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of juvenile diversion programs.

Here are some media ccoverage of the report and the subsequent decision by the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office to pause use of RCP for juvenile's who were referred for felony offenses:
