New!! KIDS COUNT 2008 Data Book & Center

Updated national and state-level data on America's children, youth, and families is now available in the Annie E. Casey Foundation's 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book. In addition to the traditional report, the foundation has an easy-to-use, powerful online database -- the KIDS COUNT Data Center. Users can generate custom graphs, maps, ranked lists, and state-by-state profiles; they can also download the entire data set as delimited text files.

Be sure to read this year's KIDS COUNT essay as it provides a road map for juvenile justice reform based on research and practice.
