Legislative Alert: The IACP Supports Reauthorization of JJDPA
In August 2018, the IACP provided a letter to U.S. congressional leaders in support of reauthorizing the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). This critical piece of legislation was first enacted in 1974 and is based on the philosophy that justice-involved juveniles should be protected by federal standards for care and custody. The legislation promotes public safety while also preventing victimization.
