This article reviews research on juvenile delinquency and effective programs and proposes a juvenile justice research agenda focused on diffusion of existing research into practice. The comprehensive strategy for serious, violent, and chronic juvenile offenders is a framework for organizing and transporting basic and program evaluation research to the juvenile justice and human service field. Thus, implementation of the comprehensive strategy involves diffusion of research and “best practices” into state and local prevention and intervention systems. Considerable progress has been made in organizing research within this framework. A research agenda is offered to further the diffusion enterprise.
