A Texas Community Builds a Better Juvenile Justice Option

In Har­ris Coun­ty, Texas, local jus­tice offi­cials and a coali­tion of com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers have been busy devel­op­ing an inno­v­a­tive approach to pub­lic safe­ty and juve­nile jus­tice. The approach — designed with the com­mu­ni­ties most affect­ed by incar­cer­a­tion — is called the Har­ris Coun­ty Youth Jus­tice Com­mu­ni­ty Rein­vest­ment Fund.
