| Abstract | In 1996 Wisconsin excluded 17-year-olds from being tried in the juvenile court. Initially this was an effort to save resources and improve community safety by incarcerating older teens as adults. At the time of the legislative change, there was little research to suggest that trying youth as adults would improve community safety. Since then, research has effectively contradicted the premise that the change would make communities safer. According to a recent study published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, trying youth under 18 in the adult criminal justice system significantly increases crime and has a negative impact on community safety. In this report, to better understand the long-term consequences in Wisconsin of trying all 17-year-olds as adults, the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families analyzed the criminal histories of 1,000 17-year-olds from 2001 through 2007.
