Youth Justice Transformation in Action
A New Path to Success: Prosecutor-Led Reform in Youth Justice
When a young person gets into trouble with the law, what if the first step wasn’t prosecution—but a second chance? In San Diego County, the District Attorney’s Office is leading a bold shift through the Juvenile Diversion Initiative, a program designed to reroute youth away from the justice system and toward real support. In this episode, Executive Director John Tuell speaks with Samira Seidu, Chief, and Fanny Yu, Deputy District Attorney, from the Juvenile Division of the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office to take you inside that effort—how referrals are made, what individualized plans look like in practice, and why collaboration with community partners is at the heart of its success. We’ll explore the outcomes they have sought to achieve, how impact is measured, and what’s been learned along the way.
