Juvenile Justice: Transforming Probation

Steve Bishop used to be a youth probation officer. He wanted to
help young people navigate out of a juvenile justice system he
knew was flawed. Now, as the Associate Director for Probation and
System Transformation at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Steve
works to transform youth probation systems around the country –
from one that punishes making mistakes in ways that leave young
people worse off and neighborhoods less safe to one that holds
kids accountable for their actions by steering them toward the
guidance and support that can help them grow into responsible
adults. In this eye-opening conversation with host Maya Rupert,
Steve talks about how we can create a more just and restorative
system that’s steeped in relationships, trust, and community.
