Hi everyone! We are looking for resources that compare Michigan juvenile detention data to other states in the US (or even Canada!) to advocate for better practices in the facilities. This one is a great start: [Juvenile justice services - JJGPS - Juvenile Justice, Geography, Policy, Practice & Statistics](http://www.jjgps.org/juvenile-justice-services) but it’s a bit outdated. Please let me know if you hear of anything else! Thank you!

Hey @yvonnewiner great topic! Eager to see what work you’re doing.
We’re doing some work that is tangential to this in a different state and these are some of the resources we’re using - but I agree - so many of them are old! I have found that to find recent stuff, we need to go state by state, [like this one](https://ojj.la.gov/data-resources/data-reports/) and [this one](https://www.cjcj.org/reports-publications/resource/division-of-juvenile-justice-data).
[Department of Justice Youth Data Page](https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/)
[National Center for Juvenile Justice reports](https://www.ncjj.org/default.aspx) - they have them by state I believe
This kind of compendium from ICPSR [National Juvenile Corrections Data](https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/NACJD/guides/njcd.html)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and for the resources, Heather! This is really helpful. I will check in with the non-profit I’m working with to see if we have any non-confidential memos that I could share with you.
