Featured Series: Juvenile Justice Practices
Launched in September 2003, OJJDP's online Juvenile Justice
Practices series is an important online resource for juvenile justice
policymakers, funding decisionmakers, and professionals who develop
and administer programs for youth. The Bulletins in this series distill
the latest information—research findings, lessons learned,
promising practices, useful tools, and organizational resources—for
specific juvenile justice program areas.
To date, Juvenile Justice Practices Bulletins have addressed aftercare
(reentry) services, access to legal counsel, and state ombudsman
programs. Currently in the publication pipeline are Bulletins on
community-based secure facilities for violent juvenile offenders,
deinstitutionalization of status offenders, and alternatives to detention
and confinement.
Juvenile Justice Practices Bulletins are available through the OJJDP
Web site's publications page
(search on "Juvenile Justice Practices Series"). |
