Or Something like that

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll see an article about a teen court. I did that. Not the article, I was one of the students who did the study. Generally the article is accurate. The program doesn't save the county $75,000 a year, it saves taxpayers $75,000 a year. That's an important distinction, but cost-benefit analysis is a pretty complex thing and the studies can be difficult to interpret. That's all. It was an interesting experience doing the study. It's also the basis for a report that I may be writing for the Wisconsin Sentencing Commission, at least methodologically.
