A Note About the National Center for Juvenile Justice All of the publications described on this page were prepared for OJJDP by its grantee the National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ), the research division of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. NCJJ is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1973 in Pittsburgh, PA, to improve the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system’s response to juvenile delinquency, child abuse, and child neglect through research and technical assistance. A primary goal of the Center has been to provide juvenile justice practitioners and the public with objective, factual information. With OJJDP sponsorship, NCJJ maintains the National Juvenile Court Data Archive, which contains the most detailed information available on juvenile court activity. The Archive is the source of the information presented in the annual Juvenile Court Statistics Report and the Fact Sheets derived from it. The Archive’s data files are also available to policymakers, researchers, and students. Researchers at NCJJ prepare statistical publications, including OJJDP’s comprehensive Juvenile Offenders and Victims: National Report. NCJJ also supports the Statistical Briefing Book portion of OJJDP’s Web site, a source of reliable answers to questions most frequently asked about juvenile offending, victimization, and involvement in the juvenile justice system. NCJJ’s State Juvenile Justice Profiles Web site features descriptive information and analysis about each state’s juvenile justice system. To access the Statistical Briefing Book, go to www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ojjdp and click on Statistics. The National Juvenile Court Data Archive Web site can be accessed through the Briefing Book.
