The Spring meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice (FACJJ) was held April 6, 2008, at the Washington Plaza Hotel, 10 Thomas Circle NW., Washington, DC, and April 7–8, 2008, at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, 810 Seventh Street NW., Washington, DC. Members heard from Montana and Massachusetts on promising practices for keeping youth in justice facilities safe from harm, particularly sexual exploitation. Drafts of the 2008 reports to the President and Congress and to the Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention were reviewed. The reports are expected to be finalized before the end of the summer and will be posted online at the FACJJ Web site and/or published and disseminated.

FACJJ meetings are public and anyone may register to attend and observe. For additional information, including information on future and past meetings and annual reports from fiscal years 2004 to 2007, visit FACJJ's Meetings Web page.

The Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice is a consultative body established by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002 and supported by OJJDP. Composed of representatives nominated by the Governors of the States and territories and the Mayor of the District of Columbia, the committee advises the President and Congress on matters related to juvenile justice, evaluates the progress and accomplishments of juvenile justice activities and projects, and advises the OJJDP Administrator on the work of OJJDP.
