Youth who have been adjudicated face the unique challenge of transitioning from facility to community while also transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. Although many juvenile justice facilities seek to provide effective transition and aftercare services, researchers have demonstrated high levels of recidivism among formerly incarcerated youth. Because of these high levels, many researchers are seeking to identify aftercare programs that can be implemented with fidelity to reduce recidivism rates. Further, many incarcerated youth have disabilities and are eligible for special education services under IDEA (2004). The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide a listing of articles, reports, and other resources published since 1984 examining the issue of transition of youth ages 11-26 from the juvenile justice system. Resources in the bibliography are divided into five categories: (1) Overview of Issues; (2) Promoting Successful Community Transitions; (3) Preventing Recidivism; (4) Youth with Disabilities; and (5) Additional Resources.
