Recommendations for Juvenile Justice Reform

Opportunities for the Obama Administration

The National Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Coalition (NJJDPC) brings together a collaborative array of youth‐ and family‐ serving, social justice, law enforcement, corrections, and faith‐based organizations, that work to ensure healthy families, build strong communities and improve public safety by promoting fair and effective policies, practices and programs for youth involved or at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile and criminal justice systems.

NJJDPC achieves its mission by engaging a broad spectrum of opinion leaders and
stakeholders, including the voices of those most affected by the juvenile justice system, to:
• advocate for sensible and safe solutions to crime and delinquency;
• build and leverage policy leadership in the field; and
• serve as a clearinghouse for research and best practices within our nation’s juvenile
and criminal justice systems.
