A stronger Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, currently before Congress, would drastically reduce the number of youth who are locked in detention for truancy or being runaways, push states to keep children out of adult jails, and require states to do more to reduce ethnic disparities.
Rehabilitation and prevention, not punishment, became the goals of a justice system that increasingly provided separate facilities and special procedures for juvenile offenders, culminating in 1974 with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, which mandated separate correctional facilities and a policy of deinstitutionalization for minor offenses.
That question is timely because Congress soon will be reauthorizing the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
