TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Evaluating an Experimental Intensive Juvenile Probation Program: Supervision and Official Outcomes JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Lane, Jodi A1 - Turner, Susan A1 - Fain, Terry A1 - Sehgal, Amber SP - 26 EP - 52 VL - 51 IS - 1 N2 - In 1996, California provided funding to 14 county probation agencies to implement multiagency, comprehensive services to keep troubled youths from recommitting crime and progressing farther into the justice system. We report results of a randomized experiment used to evaluate Ventura County's 4-year demonstration project called the South Oxnard Challenge Project (SOCP). We followed youths for more than 2 years after random assignment to SOCP or routine probation. We found no significant differences between SOCP and routine juvenile probationers on recidivism or other official-record outcomes. Although most youths were rearrested, most did not receive a sustained petition or incarceration. The modest additional services did not affect outcomes.
