Research
Every year, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice reports the outputs and outcomes of juvenile justice programs in Florida. The focus of program outcomes for these reports is the success rate (prior to 2008, recidivism rate was reported) for youth released, defined as adjudications, adjudications withheld or convictions for offenses that occurred within 12 months of their release from commitment programs (or within 6 months of release from prevention programs). Data from almost 1,000 different programs and case management units of the Prevention and Victim Services, Probation and Community Intervention, Detention Services, and Residential Commitment Services branches of the Department of Juvenile Justice were also collected and analyzed.
The Florida CAR is published by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Bureau of Research and Planning. In 2006, the Department's Outcome Evaluation and Program Accountability Measurement Report were combined into the Comprehensive Accountability Report.
Prior to 2006, the Department released two reports, the Program Accountability Measures (PAM) Report and Outcome evaluation. In 2006, these reports were refined and combined in the Comprehensive Accountability Report.
