Global Youth Justice Website Launches

Global Youth Justice and its new www.GlobalYouthJustice.org are leading the global expansion of quality juvenile justice programs commonly referred to as youth court, teen court, peer court, student court, youth peer jury, and youth peer panel. These peer justice and youth empowerment programs harness positive peer pressure and utilize it in a peer judgment setting for purposes of adjusting anti-social, delinquent, and criminal behavior. A record 1,255 local communities in America and increasingly around the globe are now operating these youth justice programs, which utilize volunteer youth in the sentencing process of other youth who have committed a crime, offense, and/or violation. A staggering 116,114 youthful offenders and a record 133,832 volunteers - to include both youth and adults are now involved annually in these programs. In less than two decades, these youth justice programs have already emerged as both the most replicated juvenile justice program in America and one of the leading national youth service programs engaging unprecedented and growing numbers of volunteer youth in meaningful and continual service.
