Coalition for Juvenile Justice The Coalition for Juvenile Justice
(CJJ) envisions a nation where fewer children are at risk of delinquency; and if they are at risk or involved with the justice system, they and their families
receive every possible opportunity to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Coalition NJJDPC is a collaborative array of youth- and family- serving, social justice, law enforcement, corrections, and
faith-based organizations, working to ensure healthy families, build strong communities and improve public safety by promoting fair and effective policies,
practices and programs for youth involved or at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile and criminal justice systems.
Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) OJJDP, a component of the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, accomplishes
its mission by supporting states, local communities, and tribal jurisdictions in their efforts to develop and implement effective programs for juveniles.
The Office strives to strengthen the juvenile justice system’s efforts to protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and provide services that address the
needs of youth and their families.
Governor’s Office for Children Works collaboratively to create and
promote an integrated, community-based service delivery system for Maryland’s children, youth and families.
