This report examines the referral stage of the mentoring process across six juvenile justice system settings (Juvenile Corrections, Juvenile Detention, Juvenile Probation, Delinquency Court, Youth/Teen Court, and Dependency Court). As a low-cost delinquency prevention and intervention option that capitalizes on the resources of local communities and caring individuals, mentoring has emerged as a promising delinquency reduction strategy for at-risk or high-risk youth. This report considers the following issues: (1) the best practices in identifying and referring youth to mentoring programs across district juvenile justice settings; (2) the capacity of the mentoring community to support the youth identified for mentoring from six juvenile justice settings; (3) the quality of mentoring programs across the juvenile justice settings; (4) what intermediate outcomes are achieved by mentoring throughout the settings? Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
