Youth Intervention produces positive outcomes at a much lower price than incarceration in a juvenile correction facility. Studies show that 70% to 80% of youth who are incarcerated are likely to re-offend. Studies also that for youth committing less serious offenses, incarceration is associated with an increased likelihood of re-offending upon release. And these poor outcomes have a high price. According to the Justice Policy Institute, it costs $407.58 per youth per day to be confined to a juvenile corrections facility. This can amount to as much as $148,767 per youth per year. Underpinning Youth Intervention is Positive Youth Development, which centers on providing young people with positive experiences, positive relationships and positive environments. To implement these three factors within a program requires programs to adhere to best practices. This includes having adults who work with young people in these settings to be highly skilled and knowledgeable about youth development. What is clear is that to build resiliency, young people need a web of support that includes parents, teachers and adults in the community. Adults working in Youth Intervention programs are part of that needed web of support. The most successful Youth Intervention programs prevent the delinquent or harmful behavior from occurring. But documenting how a program led to a youth not engaging in a behavior is difficult to measure. Both the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine state that prevention and early intervention is typically the most efficient, effective and the benefits are greater than the costs of prevention and early intervention programs. Youth Intervention has come to be recognized as an important part of reforming the United States juvenile justice system. It produces better outcomes and at a lower cost per youth than incarceration. Of youth confined in juvenile correction institutions, many are confined for nonviolent offenses. Of all juvenile commitments and detentions, 40% are for offenses that are not clear threats to the community's safety. These offenses include low level property offenses, as well as status offenses (activities that are considered a crime only due to the youth's age; examples ae truancy, possession of  alcohol). Despite the high costs, incarceration does not produce positive outcomes for youth. Community based Youth Intervention produce much better outcomes for juveniles at low risk to reoffend.
