This evidence brief identified some international system models that have promising aspects, including:
The Missouri Model of Juvenile Rehabilitation – a move from large correctional facilities to smaller, therapeutic environments.
Close to Home – this is a New York City programme based on Missouri with the addition of some higher-level security features.
Washington State Juvenile Rehabilitation Integrated Treatment Model – a clinical approach incorporating elements of the Risk-Need-Responsivity framework.
Multifunctional Treatment in Residential and Community Settings – a Scandinavian programme combining residential care with support at home and working with families.
Secure Children’s Homes – this network in England and Wales accommodates vulnerable children in ‘home-like’ facilities with high staff ratios. (From the website).
