Research Questions
• What are the best practices in identifying and referring youth to mentoring programs across distinct juvenile justice settings?
• What is the capacity of the mentoring community to support the youth identified for mentoring from six juvenile justice settings?
• What intermediate outcomes are achieved by mentoring throughout the settings?

Delinquency Court
Delinquency Courts have
jurisdiction over juveniles, juvenile delinquents, status offenders and children and youth in need of supervision. The Delinquency Court is most commonly associated with the Juvenile Justice System and juveniles who have committed a crime, status offense and/or violation.
![Page 21: Introductions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681306a550346895d964795/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Juvenile DetentionWhile mentoring is not used as a diversion from adjudication per se, it is, in many instances, viewed as one component of a holistic approach to delinquency prevention and intervention.
![Page 25: Introductions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681306a550346895d964795/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Specialized Programs
Mentoring programs with a specific and/or sole purpose of serving youth from a specific JJ setting have an advantageous level of knowledge, skill and ability in providing effective mentoring services for a wide range of high-risk youth involved in JJ settings.
![Page 37: Introductions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681306a550346895d964795/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
