Join In on an Interactive Discussion on Juvenile Justice and Fiscal Policy
In the past several years, juvenile crime rates in Arizona have dropped, thanks in part to community-based programs offered in local jurisdictions. New state policies, however, could have a dramatic impact on how these services are offered by requiring counties to pay for incarcerating youth in state juvenile correctional facilities.
Join Children’s Action Alliance and Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy for the release of a new report titled Juvenile Justice in Arizona: The Fiscal Foundations of Effective Policy, as well as an interactive discussion on how Arizona can improve public safety outcomes involving youth.
When: Thursday, January 28, 20168:30 am – 10:00 am
Where: Historic Supreme Court Chambers
1700 W. Washington, 2nd Floor, State Capitol, Phoenix
The panel will feature the following experts:
- Moderator: Hon. Patricia Escher, Retired, Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, Pima County
- Hon. Colleen McNally, Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, Maricopa County
- Tim Hardy, Director, Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center
- The Report’s author and Speaker: Bill Hart, ASU Morrison Institute for Public Policy
- Invited participants from the Governor’s Office and the House of Representatives
