Home 9 WisKids Count 9 Report on Juvenile Justice Services Costs 2010 ( Page 20 )
How much does it cost for juvenile delinquency services in Wisconsin?  Wisconsin 2011 Act 32 required the Department of Corrections to gather information about juvenile justice services from around the state and compile into a report to the legislature.  With help from the counties, that information has been compiled in a report to the legislature released in early July.  The report, simply titled 2010 State and County Juvenile Justice Services, provides information on both state and county-level expenditures related to juvenile justice.  

WCCF has created a Juvenile Justice Expenditures Snapshot of the key fiscal data, illustrating changes in funding, changes in the number of youth served, and that state Youth Aids funds account for less than one-half of juvenile justice related expenditures.  Check out our prior blog post on July 3 related to the policy implications of this data.

This process of destabilization not only prevents children from having a strong start but can persist over the course of their lives.
