OJJDP Administrator J. Robert Flores will give the keynote address at the 35th National Conference on Juvenile Justice, which will take place March 9–12, 2008, in St. Louis, MO.

In his keynote remarks, Mr. Flores will applaud the dedication of juvenile justice professionals who tirelessly work in responding to the needs of children and youth in their daily workload. He will also address the need to provide comprehensive programs and services at the Federal, State, and local levels to prevent and reduce the contact of children and youth with the juvenile justice system.

The National Conference on Juvenile Justice is sponsored by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) and the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA). The conference offers juvenile justice professionals a national perspective on the issues they face day to day. Sessions at this year's event will deal with a variety of topics, including truancy and safe schools, gangs, family violence and child abuse and neglect, juvenile sex offenders, and substance abuse.

Online registration and a conference brochure are available on both the NCJFCJ and NDAA Web sites.
