The Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is an independent body within the executive branch of the Federal Government. The Council's primary functions are to coordinate Federal juvenile delinquency prevention programs, Federal programs and activities that detain or care for unaccompanied juveniles, and Federal programs relating to missing and exploited children.

The Council met most recently on November 30, 2006, and in a closed planning session on December 1, 2006. At the public meeting, members heard a presentation on the National MCH Center for Child Death Review and discussed the connection between the reviews conducted at the State and local levels and changes to policy and practice that help improve child and youth safety. At the planning session, Council designees and staff identified several sets of activities recommended for consideration by the Council over the next 12–24 months. The next Council meeting is scheduled for Friday, March 2, 2007, at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC.
