Seven section follow and executive summary with recommendations: historical overview of juvenile justice in California; the current state of the California juvenile justice system; statistical overview of the 26 counties served by the Sierra Health Foundation; planning for a 21st century juvenile justice system; constructing a model system; implementing reform—fist steps; and conclusion.
