Chicago's Alternative to Locking Up Youth
By Amanda Paulson | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

CHICAGO  D. is a high school freshman who admits he helped steal two cars.
Instead of being locked up in a juvenile detention facility, however, the
teenager is spending the evening at a youth-services center, engaged in a
spirited discussion on the recent US Supreme Court decision on police
searches.

This is Chicago's approach to juvenile delinquency: an experiment that
emphasizes alternatives to detention for pretrial youths not considered
dangerous. Some juvenile-justice advocates cite it as the premier example
of a major city bucking the trend of locking kids up.

For D. and other teens here tonight, it's a welcome alternative to the
county's detention center, where 10 years earlier they probably would have
ended up. Instead, they spend five hours each evening at Youth Outreach
Services, one of seven evening reporting centers in Chicago.
