It's our anniversary! The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention are turning 50!
On September 7, 1974, the JJDPA was signed into law, setting federal standards for the safe and equitable treatment of young people in the juvenile justice system and establishing OJJDP to lead national efforts to prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency. Over the past 50 years, we've made incredible strides, and we're excited to keep the momentum going!
