Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
More than one in four young people committed to juvenile facilities will end up getting in trouble with the law within one year of their release. So how do you break the cycle of juvenile crime? Our series on juvenile justice continues with a look at the factors that influence high rates of recidivism, and the programs and resources designed to break the cycle.
