This article highlights various strategies for measuring juvenile recidivism in different states. Juvenile recidivism, a relapse into criminal behavior among teenagers and children, has been increasing with the present study revealing that up to 80% of the incarcerated youth under the majority age are rearrested within three years of release (Casey & Siennick, 2023).

Other risk factors include neglect and maltreatment. Findings show that individual family-based interventions are effective in mitigating delinquent behaviors and recidivism among young people. These include school satisfaction, parental closeness, and higher academic achievement. Family and community-based interventions invol...
