Home 9 Youth Justice 9 NCCD Supports Returning Wisconsin 17 Year-Olds to Juvenile Court

The National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) has issued a statement of support for AB732, a bill authored by Rep. Fred Kessler, that would return 17 year-olds to the juvenile system – starting with youth alleged to have committed a misdemeanor. The NCCD statement reflects what we know about the failed policies of treating 17 year-olds as adults as well as the benefits to youth and the community by providing necessary services in the juvenile system.
