Tune in Today at 3pm for this *important* discussion on youth related justice. Details below. #WCAyouthjustice #YouthJustice

From Governor Kathy Hochul - Individuals who were under the age of 19 when convicted of a crime & eligible for youthful offender status but denied the designation allowed to reapply for that status retroactively. #JuvelineJusticeReform tinyurl.com/3vjf2d47

S.282/A.6769 takes a first step towards expanding youthful offender protections by allowing people to seal records for mistakes made as teenagers. Thank you NYS Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie 米维 Alicia Hyndman for championing this bill and Governor Kathy Hochul for signing.

Imagine if youthful and emerging adult offenders were offered this option for non-violent crimes rather than prison and a record. Would be life changing for many of them. #restorativejustice #juvenilejusticereform nytimes.com/2021/11/26/us/…

It's Info Thursday. #Youth #YouthJustice #LGBTQIA+ #Detention #Disparities

Decent, safe and affordable housing is critical, especially for young offenders, to help restore them to the community safely once released, but as a preventative measure to reduce crime based on social inequity. #restorativejustice

This Police Captain's unorthodox approach to gun violence is something we should all take note of. Addressing the problem at the root with strong mental health resources is how we help our young people nytimes.com/2022/02/04/nyr…
