Abstract
One feature article highlights the 2024 National Conference on Youth Justice, the capstone event of OJJDP's yearlong 50th anniversary celebration of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. The other feature discusses the Office's $420 million in fiscal year 2024 discretionary grants, which help states, localities, and Tribes develop effective and equitable juvenile justice systems that create safer communities and empower youth. Additional stories report on a panel discussion at the National Conference offering youth leaders an opportunity to develop a "Call to Action" for transforming youth justice and a Tribal listening session attended by 35 Tribal representatives focused on youth programming. Another article focuses on a roundtable held during the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference discussing ways law enforcement agencies can support programs and services for youth along a continuum of care.
