ANNOTATION: The need to deal with the “state of education services for two groups of vulnerable youth, some of whom begin contact in one social service system - child welfare - and come into contact with another youth agency – the juvenile justice system” is explained (p.7). Individuals involved with juveniles and youth need to be aware of this problem because it impacts many areas of programming and services these youth are offered. This report has seven sections: introduction; educational and other outcomes of youth in both systems; barriers to improving education performance; legal and policy reforms in recent years; evidence-based interventions; multisystems perspective—emerging options and alternatives; and from principles to practice.
