Better Tomorrows: A Landscape Analysis of Oklahoma's Youth Justice System and Suggested Reforms reviews the historical context for Oklahoma’s youth justice system, examines contemporary processes and actors within the system, and recommends a series of reforms that can help achieve better outcomes for justice-involved children and their families.
OK Policy intends for the Better Tomorrows report and the accompanying panel discussion to deepen conversations about how our youth justice system can better serve the needs of our children, our families, and our communities.
Please plan on joining us Monday for the panel discussion, which will be streamed live at OKPolicy.org or via OK Policy's social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Q&A will be available.
