Smoot, Naomi
- Abstract
On December 21, 2018, the Juvenile Justice Reform Act was signed into law, marking the first update in 16 years to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended. The reforms reflect much of the knowledge that has been gained through research and science over the past decade and strengthen the Act's core protections for youth in the juvenile justice system. The changes also expand the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's role in research, and technical assistance, and provide for additional oversight for related programs.
