SALT LAKE CITY – The Juvenile Justice Services Division in Utah is reporting a 46% drop in kids detained for low-level crimes.
Division Director Brett Peterson says Utah reformed its juvenile justice system three years ago. That means low-level offenders are being diverted into therapy and job training programs instead.
Peterson believes throwing kids in jail for every crime has unintended consequences. When you introduce a youth into the formal justice system, they have worse mental health outcomes. They have worse physical health outcomes. They have worse educational outcomes. And, then, the big one: they re-offend at a higher rate, Peterson said.

Going into Saturday s game between Mason City and No. 5 Cedar Falls, it would ve been easy to dismiss the Mohawks chances. Going up against the Tigers, ranked No. 5 in Class 5A, the winless Mohawks didn t seem to have much of a chance.Â
But thanks to some big offensive performances, Mason City nearly pulled off one of the year s most stunning upsets. In the end Cedar Falls won, 71-69, but the Mohawks walked away with their heads held high.Â
Junior Jada Williams scored 24 points on Saturday, with 10 rebounds. It was the second time in two days that Williams had double-digit points and rebounds, after she put up a triple double on Friday against Ames.Â
