The JJDPA: Updating Federal Law to Reflect New Reforms
February 5, 2015 at 3:00pm ET
Register here!
The juvenile justice field has come a long way since the JJDPA was first enacted, and even since 2002 when it was last reauthorized. Please join us for an overview of how this legislation has helped drive reform at the state and local levels. We will also discuss how we can help ensure that federal policy reflects the new knowledge, advancements, and promising practices from the field, and how a reauthorized JJDPA might change the future landscape of juvenile justice practice. This webinar will be co-hosted by CJJ and the National Juvenile Justice Network.
Presenters include:
- Lara Quint, Legislative Counsel, Office of US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
- Bob Schwartz, Executive Director, Juvenile Law Center
- Naomi Smoot, Senior Policy Associate, Coalition for Juvenile Justice
