    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Urban Policy and the Environment, 2006) Bealke, Judith; Blackman, Lorraine; Anderson, Jeffrey A.; Barton, William
    In partnership with the City-County Council of the city of Indianapolis and Marion County, Indiana, the Center is assisting with the establishment and implementation of an Early Intervention Planning Council (EIPC). The EIPC is charged with developing a comprehensive plan for early intervention that will provide services tailored to the individual needs of children who have been either adjudicated as or alleged to be delinquent children and referred to the Marion County Department of Child Services (DCS). This report is part of a series of reports prepared by the Center to inform the EIPC. It begins with a discussion of prevention in general and systems of care as a model, and then presents evidence-based practices for mentoring, family support, school-based mental health, psychiatric services for children and adolescents, child welfare and interventions in juvenile justice.

    Reintegration and Aftercare of Ex-Offenders in Central Indiana
    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Urban Policy and the Environment, 2001) Barton, William; Jarjoura, Roger; Baker, Lori; Fronczek, Adam
    National and state trends show that there are rising prison populations, which result in increasing number of ex-offenders returning to society. How do we break the cycle of recidivism and successfully reintegrate ex-offenders—both adult and juvenile—into society? In Central Indiana, the Safety and Violence Impact Council of the United Way of Central Indiana conducted a preliminary assessment of adult offender reintegration needs in an eight-county area in Central Indiana to inform efforts to improve the chances for successful community reintegration of persons returning from prison. The Aftercare by IUPUI through Mentoring (AIM) Program addresses reintegration needs of juveniles. This issue brief summarizes some of the results needs assessment and policy implications of the AIM Program.
