Under the mainstream system, \n \"by the third arrest, a formal juvenile proceeding functions more as a rite of manhood.\" In the Youth Court, a \n jury of peers has the power to sentence first offenders to community service, restitution, counseling, an apology, \n and jury duty. Jurors earn Time Dollars for jury duty, mentoring, and training, and can redeem them for a \n recycled computer. \"Creating a Youth Court means creating a world where young people are supported and \n affirmed for saying what they know: 'Don't hurt someone. Don't take something that isn't yours. Don't take \n that kind of risk'\" Result: Data from police arrests between January 1 2003 and September 302003 showed that \n one year recidivism rates were 18% for youth participating in Youth Courts, as opposed to recidivism rates in \n the 30% range for youth in mainstream juvenile justice system.","bbox":{"left":0.062455,"top":0.12873,"width":0.8755639999999999,"height":0.19265100000000002}},{"text":"Collateral \n and gains","bbox":{"left":0.064812,"top":0.337439,"width":0.07096400000000001,"height":0.03619500000000003}},{"text":"Benefit(s): A 2010 evaluation report of youth courts found \n in life skills such as goal setting and achievement, problem","bbox":{"left":0.144157,"top":0.337439,"width":0.45719,"height":0.03619500000000003}},{"text":"strong associations between participation \n solving, decision-making and academics.","bbox":{"left":0.610409,"top":0.337439,"width":0.3154300000000001,"height":0.03619500000000003}},{"text":"Youth Courts also provide kids with a way to reach out to one another.
