Strategies

Restrict youth under a certain age from being in public places during certain hours, usually at night

Increase the minimum and/or maximum age boundaries for youth to be processed in the juvenile justice system

Organize tours of prison facilities for juvenile delinquents or youth at risk of delinquency and allow them to observe prison life and attend inmates’ presentations; also called juvenile awareness programs

Use counseling, informational materials, etc. to inform smokers and non-smokers of the harms of secondhand smoke and encourage them to implement home smoking bans

Implement private sector rules or public sector regulations that prohibit smoking in and around multi-unit housing

Support a trauma-informed juvenile justice system to recognize and respond to trauma’s impact on youth through staff training and broad adoption of trauma-informed practices and policies

Transfer arrested youth from the juvenile justice system to the adult criminal justice system
