Abstract
In 2011, the Albany Police Department (APD) launched an innovative initiative designed to prevent juvenile justice system involvement for low-risk youth. The project involved the creation of a Juvenile Justice Mobile Response Team (JJMRT) composed of the Albany County Department of Probation and three community agencies (Parsons Child & Family Center, Equinox, and Trinity Alliance). Youth arrested by the APD were screened by Probation using a risk assessment tool and assessed by Equinox and Trinity. The team then made joint recommendations to the APD regarding how the system should respond to the youth. The Center for Human Services Research was asked to evaluate JJMRT’s implementation and outcomes over the course of the 14-month initiative.
