Today in Juvenile Justice: Administrator Update

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), headed by Administrator Liz Ryan was established by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act to support local and state efforts to prevent delinquency and improve juvenile justice systems.

A component of the Office of Justice Programs within the U.S. Department of Justice, OJJDP works to prevent and respond to youth delinquency and protect children.

In support of OJJDP's vision and mission, Administrator Ryan will hold monthly calls with stakeholders. During these calls, Administrator Ryan will update the field about OJJDP programs and initiatives and current activities. These brief calls are geared toward OJJDP stakeholders, including grantees, youth justice advocates, criminal and juvenile justice professionals, law enforcement officials, prosecutors and youth defenders, and other individuals interested in youth justice issues. 

The next call will be held on August 29, 2024 at 1 p.m. ET.  This call will discuss the 50th anniversary of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) subgrantee events and outreach activities. The calls will last from 3 to 5 minutes. To join the Administrator’s call, click on this WebEx link to register for the upcoming call.
