The overall goal of the Redeploy Illinois Public Act is to reduce the number of juveniles committed to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) by providing incentives to counties to create local resources that will more effectively meet the needs of delinquent youth while at the same time keeping the community safe. The program is being implemented using a variety of approaches across four pilot sites, in the 2nd Judicial Circuit as well asMacon County, St. Clair and Peoria counties in Illinois. This report is focused exclusively on the evaluation of the 2nd Judicial Circuit pilot program, which consists of 12 counties. The evaluation approach was designed to address the unique characteristics of this pilot site through establishing key performance indicators and research questions for assessing the impact and implementation of the Redeploy Illinois program. Five performance indicators were identified for assessing the impact of the Redeploy Illinois program and six performance indicators were identified for assessing the implementation of the program.
