2025 Statewide Geospatial Study
We are excited to share that Phase I of our Juvenile Justice Statewide Geospatial Study has been released. Phase I of the study seeks to identify neighborhoods for intervention, providing communities with data to support youth and families while lowering court referral rates.
Phase I combines court referral rates, hot spot analysis, inter-county comparison, and episode numbers to identify Utah neighborhoods for increased support. Our next steps include identifying interested communities, and through strength-based approaches, working with partners, youth, and families on reducing court referral rates in these key neighborhoods.
