One of the least scrutinized and improved areas of juvenile justice is the area of Persons in Need of Supervision (PINS). These children comprise a large portion of the time and resources of the judicial system, but questions of what will help PINS kids and their families are rarely answered. New Zealand developed Family Group Conferencing to deal with family problems in the juvenile crime and abuse and neglect contexts. Such a process lends itself well to the resolution of PINS matters.
