Join OJJDP and its partners in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), enacted on September 7, 1974. The year-long observance theme is "Looking Back, Moving Forward: Celebrating 50 Years of the JJDPA."
We invite you to participate in discussions and outreach activities highlighting advancements in juvenile justice reform over the last 50 years and beyond. We also encourage you to take this time to reflect on the youth justice system of tomorrow, one that focuses on support, healing, and restorative justice.
