Trine profs’ research shows JDAI helps keep juveniles from re-offending
Juveniles who have been part of Steuben County’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) program as opposed to being incarcerated are less likely to re-offend as adults, according to research by two Trine University faculty members.
