Coordinating Council Releases Two New Reports to Congress

The Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (Council) has released two new reports to Congress representing input from multiple federal agencies and practitioners in the field:

• Report to Congress and The White House Fiscal Year 2023-2024. This report issues recommendations in support of a federal response to justice-involved youth. It is based on nearly two years of work by the Council listening to youth and families with lived experience, hearing from juvenile justice stakeholders, sharing information across Federal agencies, and visiting jurisdictions to see best practices in action. These recommendations and action plan are grounded in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and focus on OJJDP's Continuum of Care for Communities framework.
• Independent Practitioner Report on Youth Justice. This report by Council practitioners complements the full report of the Council by underscoring where additional opportunities may exist to meet critical needs of youth and families in their communities.
