Home 9 Youth Justice 9 More Support for Raising the Age – and other JJ Policy Improvements
The Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice just released its 2010 Annual Report that includes a number of recommendations consistent with the goals of reauthorizing JJDPA – and go even further to include that financial incentives should be provided to states to ensure that the age of adult court jurisdiction be set at age 18 in all states.  The FACJJ includes representatives from the State Advisory Groups (SAGs) from around the country and is charged with providing input to OJJDP and the administration about juvenile justice policy.  Not only providing recommendations, this report goes further and provides a good summary on each of the issues as well as some references that you can use to find some of the original rationale behind the recommendation.  It’s worth reading!!
