This measurement is important because it demonstrates the ability of state and local government, courts, and private partners to improve justice system programming through research-based interventions and data based decisions without adding financial burdens to the state of Iowa.

this is important:
Youth who are healthy, safe and successful during their school years are more likely to grow into healthy, safe and successful adults. Positive youth development activities promote protective behaviors, attitudes and environments that reduce the possibilities for delinquent or risky behaviors.
What we're doing about this:
Grant-writing, collaborative planning, management of community grants; and training and technical assistance strategies are pursued.
