This report describes lessons learned from the Broward Detention Initiative (BDI) in Broward County, Florida, a successful detention reform effort that led to attempts at replication. Chapter 1, "The Predecessor Program: The Broward Detention Initiative," explains key factors in BDI's success (e.g., the site was ready, problems were effectively assessed, clear goals and objectives were developed, existing and new alternatives were used, and mechanisms were built to reinforce reforms). Chapter 2, "The Political Winds Shift," examines political events during the years between the BDI and the Florida Detention Initiative (FDI), which included passing the 1990 Juvenile Justice Reform Act, developing a more conservative political environment, and passing the 1994 Juvenile Justice Reform Act. Chapter 3, "The Replication Project: The Florida Detention Initiative," presents issues surrounding implementation of the FDI: sites selected, goals developed, technical assistance and training provided, local partnerships forged, statutes limited options, external pressure for reform limited, goal ambiguity hindered progress, lack of FDI organization at the local level occurred, role of the Center for the Study of Youth Policy in local sites diminished, and data collection and research not prioritized. Chapter 4 "Florida Detention Initiative Outcomes," examines outcomes in three Florida locations. Chapter 5, "Lessons Learned," presents 13 lessons learned through this experience. (SM)
