*Justice Department Highlights Youth Voices at the 2024 National Conference on Youth Justice*

On November 19, 2024, the Department of Justice issued a press release [ [link removed] ] highlighting the 2024 National Conference on Youth Justice: Shaping the Next 50 Years [ [link removed] ] held November 19-21 in Washington, DC.

The conference, cosponsored by OJJDP and the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, culminated OJJDP’s year-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act being signed into law in 1974. The Act established OJJDP and set national standards for how youth are to be treated within the juvenile justice system.

“We still have work to do and what better way to shape what’s next than by partnering with youth,” said OJJDP Administrator Liz Ryan. “This conference was informed by young people and provides a platform for young people to use their voice, share their perspectives and recommendations on how to address the challenges they face related to youth justice. At OJJDP, we believe in the possibilities of tomorrow and what we can accomplish together in the next 50 years of youth justice!”

The conference brought together more than 2,400 attendees representing youth advocates, justice professionals, community leaders, educators, and policymakers who are working to transform juvenile justice.
