Summary: NDAA's juvenile justice resources often pull from urban prosecutors' offices with sophisticated training departments and multi-level management, but the reality is that most prosecutors across the country operate in smaller, rural jurisdictions, The same prosecutor handling an adult homicide case is also handling the juvenile robbery case. Rural prosecutors may not know all the latest about youth and juvenile justice. This webinar, which went live on November 6th, 2024, featured panelists including a public health researcher, a Wisconsin prosecutor, and a Montana juvenile probation officer. The public health researcher will provide an overview of the research, such as what ACEs studies have been done on youth in detention and what ACEs scores were in the rural youth population. Additionally, the panelists discussed what positive measures are working to counteract or build resiliency to ACEs particularly for rural youth. Panelists shared how to address common challenges in rural jurisdictions so that other jurisdictions can learn from their experiences.
Learning objectives:
(1) Inform juvenile justice stakeholders about the types of ACEs most common in rural youth and the high rate of high ACEs scores in rural youth, and the particularly high ACEs rates among American Indian/Alaskan Native youth.
(2) Recognize the intersection between criminal justice systems and high ACEs scores, and inform stakeholders of positive, resiliency measures that are working in some rural communities.
(3) Provide advice to juvenile justice stakeholders about addressing common issues in rural jurisdictions, provide resources, and list of ideas of what could work in their communities both upstream (preventative) of system-involvement and downstream (after system-involvement of some kind).
