While progress has been made, there is still more to be done to ensure our legal system treats kids as kids. @CalStateLACJ's Denise Herz, @EAJProject's @LaelChester, and @OJJDPLizRyan lead our next discussion on how prosecutors can better meet the needs of kids and young adults.

A great new report by Selen Perker and Lael Chester at @CUJusticeLab on emerging adults in the courts and incarceration. Emerging adult innovations point to a new paradigm geared towards human development and community investment rather than punishment.
