About the National Data Clearinghouse

The FSU Center for Criminology and Public Policy Research maintains this National Juvenile Justice Education Clearinghouse. To address the lack of research and information available in the field of juvenile justice education, the Juvenile Justice NCLB Collaboration Project collected information and data from states in 2008 and built this resource.

The purpose of the national data clearinghouse is to provide a mechanism to share information and data with states and researchers interested in juvenile justice education. Users are able to search, view, and print state documents that can provide data that will inform policy recommendations, government and research reports, and program planning.

There are multiple search terms that contain documents, reports, and information from various states:

• Education and Transition Services
• Monitoring/Evaluation Standards
• Education Program Monitoring/Evaluation Results
• Highly Qualified Teachers
• Recidivism
• Post-Release Employment
• Post-Release Education
• Population/Demographics
• Education Performance while Incarcerated

Types of documents submitted by states include juvenile justice education annual reports and/or educational outcome reports; juvenile justice annual reports, which include recidivism results; special reports and/or studies conducted in juvenile justice education; and states’ educational monitoring standards for juvenile justice education.

If you would like to submit a research report or other document on juvenile justice education from your state; or if you have questions regarding the clearinghouse contact George Pesta at the FSU Center for Criminology and Public Policy Research, gpesta@fsu.edu.
