North Carolina's Continuum of Community Based Programs for Youth

This webinar, presented by the National District Attorneys' Association (NDAA) on January 24, 2024, educated prosecutors about North Carolina's juvenile justice system from complaint to petition to disposition. Presenters discussed how the state uses a risk assessment instrument (YASI adopted Jan. 1, 2021), how it allocates funding to community-based programs, and how it has implemented evidence-based practices, restorative justice programs, and Raise the Age laws (enacted December 1, 2019).
