CREATING BETTER OUTCOMES FOR YOUTH
WHY THE JJDPA MATTERS The JJDPA creates four core protections for young people First enacted in 1974, it was reauthorized in 2018 to: - Strengthens provisions that address racial and ethnic disparities in the justice system. - Prohibits children who are awaiting trial in adult court from being held in adult facilities. - Limits the use of detention for children charged with status offense behaviors. - Protects girls from being shackled while giving birth. - Focuses on evidence-based and trauma-informed care.
TWO KEY ASKS: Restore funding for juvenile justice programs (Title II, Title V, JABG) Provide federal support for implementation of the JJDPA as reauthorized in 2018
JUVENILE JUSTICE IS MONEY WELL SPENT The JJDPA is cost- effective. Targeted investments in juvenile justice increase public safety, improve outcomes for youth and families, and result in more stable communities across the nation. Title V Title II JABG Better outcomes for youth, families and communities & cost savings for the Federal and State Government
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT The JJDPA ensures that our children, our families, and our communities receive key protections. Federal support is needed to help implement important provisions of this legislation include jail removal which goes into effect in December.
