    Thumbnail preview ANNOTATION: Problems with and solutions for the use of recidivism data for juveniles are discussed. In particular, the need for standardization of recidivism measures is explained for “comparisons of program and system outcomes must begin with a common understanding of what is being measured” (p. 6). Sections of this paper include: introduction; the need for standardization; current practices; conclusions and observations; recommendations for standardization; use of recidivism measures; and conclusion. It is strongly suggested that all studies of juvenile recidivism include adjudication or conviction.
