The Tow Youth Justice Institute at The University of New Haven released an issue brief that addresses the effect of trauma on children and how it relates to the juvenile justice system. The Connecticut School-Based Diversion Initiative (SBDI) was recommended as a way to address the multi-system need for diversion. Connecticut's Juvenile Justice Policy and Oversight Committee (JJPOC) is including trauma in its work around diversion, recidivism and incarceration with recommendations to mitigate the effects of trauma.
