South Oxnard Challenge Project. Report of What Works

Abstract

THE SOUTH OXNARD CHALLENGE PROJECT (SOCP) The South Oxnard Challenge Project was developed as a demonstration project to test through a randomized experiment the practical applicability of Clear's restorative justice theory and to examine the results of the newly developed collaborative approach to juvenile justice in South Oxnard. The SOCP was a collaborative project between the County, City and private non-profit agencies. The major participants in the collaborative were the Ventura County Probation Agency, Ventura County Behavioral Health Department (Drug and Alcohol Programs, Mental Health Services), City Corps (Oxnard), City of Oxnard Recreation Department Oxnard Police Department, El Concilio De Condado De Ventura, Interface Children Family Services, and Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP). Participants from these agencies jointly determined treatment approaches and delivered services using a team approach. Direct provision of services constituted one of the primary differences between SOCP and regular juvenile probation where youth are "referred out" for services with periodic follow-up.
