Alabama Juvenile Crime Is Down, But Not Number of Kids in System, Report Says

Juvenile crime in Alabama has dropped by 27 percent in the past five years, but the number of kids in the state's juvenile justice system hasn't declined, according to a report drafted by a legislative task force.

State lawmakers in 2018 could debate a juvenile justice reform bill — similar to the state's 2015 prison reform plan — to fix the problem, one lawmaker says, according to The Anniston Star.
