“Community Justice Support Centers (CJSCs) are an innovative, court-run initiative that combine traditional community monitoring with treatment, education, and career services to keep clients that are at high-risk for recidivism out of jail or prison. We analyzed court data to track outcomes of CJSC participants both before and after the significant program changes in 2016. Although this research is limited to retrospective data, three different types of analyses all suggest that current CJSCs are reducing rates of recidivism among participants.”
