Administering justice to juvenile offenders has largely been the
domain of the states, and as a result of this the laws that pertain
to juvenile offenders can vary widely from state to state. There is
no federal juvenile justice system. Although the federal government
does not play a direct role in administering juvenile justice, in
the 1960s, the federal government began establishing federal
juvenile justice agencies and grant programs in order to influence
the states' juvenile justice systems. The Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974 created many of the
federal entities and grant programs that continue to operate today,
including the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) and the State Formula Grants Program. This book analyses
the current federal legislation that influences the state juvenile
justice systems. Although the book provides some background
information on the evolution of juvenile justice in the United
States, the main focus of the book is the major federal legislation
that impacts state juvenile justice systems, including the JJDPA.
It also provides a bibliography of a comprehensive list of
resources about the field of juvenile justice. Each annotation
explains what the item is about, and citations are organised into
the following areas: courts; juvenile assessment; assessment tools;
programs; programs for young women; facilities; training; websites;
and juvenile sex offenders.
