Evidence-based programs have been shown to successfully treat delinquent youth in the community and decrease out of home placement. Services cost between $1300 and $5,000 per family per year, while incarcerating just one youth will cost over $50,000 per year with the likelihood of poorer outcomes for both the youth & their family.
