An evaluation of reentry services for juveniles under the Second Chance Act Juvenile Reentry funding found that specialized reentry services that incorporated case management and assessment of substance use and functional ability were more effective than basic reentry services. An evaluation of the Fast Accountability Skills Training (FAST) program found that two sessions of accountability skill development for juvenile probation violators instead of a formal hearing and a stay in detention did not reduce recidivism or future probation violations.
