Using survey input and many months of discussion among national organizations, the Act 4 Juvenile Justice working group has completed a consensus document that embodies a “Statement of Principles” for JJDPA reauthorization that the group wishes to communicate to members of Congress. The Act 4 Juvenile Justice campaign is now circulating the “Statement” for sign-ons from national, state and local organizations. Click below to view a PDF of the "Statement."
