The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has posted a new article discussing OJJDP's Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement and Juvenile Residential Facility Census.
Both OJJDP-sponsored surveys gather information from residential placement facilities that hold juveniles who are charged or adjudicated for an offense. The article describes the work that OJJDP and NIJ are performing to improve data collection on juveniles in residential placement and the facilities in which they are held.
