Abstract

DATA SHOW THAT, WHEN COMPARED TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY (MN) JUVENILE COURT SYSTEM, NYPUM APPEARS TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL AND LESS EXPENSIVE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PRE-PROGRAM ARREST RATES OF NYPUM YOUTHS WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN THOSE OF THE NON-NYPUM MATCHED SAMPLE. PRE- AND POST-PROGRAM ARRESTS ARE COMPARED.
