Action networks

In addition to the four core reform states, other state and local partners collaborated with national experts and each other in knowledge-and skill-sharing action networks devoted to accelerating reform on particular issues. The action networks provided peer-to-peer support in an issue-focused forum for the development and exchange of ideas and strategies across the four reform states and a dozen additional states.

Disproportionate Minority Contact Action Network shared practices and information to reduce racial disparities in the juvenile justice system.

Juvenile Indigent Defense Action Network promoted improved access to and quality of counsel representing youth in delinquency proceedings.
