Over the past two decades, the U.S. cut youth incarceration by 75%, replacing punishment with community-based programs, restorative justice, and trauma-informed care that improved both public safety and young lives!

But this hard-won progress is now at risk.

Despite youth crime remaining near historic lows, policymakers across the country are pushing rollbacks — expanding detention, building new facilities, and prosecuting more children as adults.
