The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy (CJJR), in partnership with the Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ), proposes to continue operating the Center for Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Juvenile Justice (herein “Center”). The purpose of the Center is to support the field in eliminating racial and ethnic disparities (R/ED) faced by youth of color in the youth legal system. The Center has four main objectives: (1) strengthen state and territory-level compliance with the reducing R/ED core requirement of the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act; (2) develop and implement comprehensive training and technical assistance (TTA) that supports state, territorial, Tribal, and community-level efforts to reduce R/ED; (3) meaningfully partner with youth and families to lead efforts to reduce R/ED and transform the youth legal system, and (4) increase the knowledge base of practitioners, stakeholders, and partners on strategies to reduce R/ED to inspire systemic reform.
