UCLA study, commissioned by the US Department of Justice outlines long-term academic achievement growth and juvenile crime rates within the LA’s BEST (Better Educated Students of Tomorrow) program. The study concludes that high dosage is tied to positive results for youth. Students who attended the program regularly show modest achievement gains and a substantively significant reduction in juvenile crime. A cost benefit analysis illustrates that this reduction in juvenile crime may save municipalities revenue in the long term by investing in after school programs.
