FACJJ Legislation Workgroup
Process for review
• Focus on Reauthorization of JJDPA
• Survey SAG Chairs and JJ Specialists
• Looked at a variety of summary documents
related to reauthorization
• Developed preliminary recommendations
16
PRIMARY RECOMMENDATION:
The FACJJ supports reauthorization of the JJDPA,
including funding sufficient to support the vision
and charge to OJJDP and jurisdictions.
In addition, the FACJJ conveys specific
recommendations related to a number of
elements of the reauthorization, including:
17
Recommendation 7: Implementation
of the Act related to strengthening the
federal-state partnership
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ reaffirms its
prior recommendation that OJJDP strengthen its
collaboration and communication with jurisdictions
related to the interpretation and implementation of
regulations derived from the statutes.
18
Recommendation 5: Changing funding
related to non-compliance
• FACJJ Position: OPPOSE – The FACJJ supports a collaborative
process between OJJDP and the jurisdictions in the
development and oversight of regulations, and in the use of
funds to support jurisdictions struggling to meet compliance
requirements. Ultimately, should a state fail to work with
OJJDP or fail to achieve compliance, some form of funding
reduction may be appropriate; however, absent additional
provisions promoting collaboration between OJJDP and
jurisdictions, the FACJJ does not support this provision at
this time
19
Recommendation 1: Phasing out the
Valid Court Order (VCO) exception that
permits the secure confinement of
status offenders
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – While extreme situations
may remain an issue in some jurisdictions, the FACJJ
supports phasing out the VCO exception and
providing support and resources to help
jurisdictions develop alternatives that can address
their concerns.
20
Recommendation 2: Increased data
collection and reporting
requirements
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT ONLY with INCREASED
FUNDING – The FACJJ acknowledges the importance
of data collection improvements envisioned in the
reauthorization but cannot fully support
implementation of these added expectations at this
time, unless additional funds are provided at both
the federal and local level.
21
Recommendation 3: Increasing
accountability measures for reducing
racial and ethnic disparities.
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ supports
continued collaboration with OJJDP and the
jurisdictions to develop valid accountability
measures that will accurately reflect progress
toward achieving equity outcomes and receiving
additional funding, training, and other technical
assistance to help jurisdictions achieve those
outcomes.
22
Recommendation 4: Requiring that youth under 18,
including those being charged as adults, not be
confined in adult facilities at least until conviction,
unless certain court reviews are conducted and a
court determines the best interest of justice is being
served.
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT – The FACJJ supports
provisions of reauthorization that place additional
limits and/or procedural requirements on placing
youth under age 18 in adult confinement facilities.
23
Recommendation 6: The current proposal
includes an allocation of $159 million for FFY
2016 and two-percent increases per year for the
five years of the Act.
• FACJJ Position: SUPPORT with AMENDMENT – The FACJJ
recommends that total juvenile justice funding be
restored, minimally to FFY 2013 levels. Further, the
FACJJ recommends that no more than 20 percent of
those funds be set aside for specific types of programs
(for example, mentoring program support) since large
set-asides, in conjunction with increased requirements
and reductions in overall funding levels, severely limit
the ability of jurisdictions to implement other reforms
and practices that have proven to be effective.

Dual Status Youth:
Innovative Successes for Maltreated Youth involved in the

clearest mirror of our performance,
the truest measure of whether we live up
to our ideals, is our youth.”

Updating the Research:
Characteristics of Dual Status Youth
Maltreated youth and those
with child welfare histories
have an increased likelihood
of:
 Delinquency
 Substance abuse
 Adult criminality
 Educational
deficiencies
 Mental health
concerns
These relationships are
neither inevitable nor
deterministic
 Employment
difficulties
Dual Status Youth - Definitions
Dually-Identified Youth: Youth who are
currently involved with the juvenile
justice system and have a history in
the child welfare system but no current
involvement.
Child Welfare
Dually-Involved Youth: Youth who have
concurrent involvement (diversionary,
formal, or a combination of the two) with
both the child welfare and juvenile
justice systems.
Dually-Adjudicated Youth: Youth who are
concurrently adjudicated in both the
child welfare and juvenile justice
systems (i.e., both dependent and
delinquent)

Adolescent Development & Behavior
Adolescents differ from adults and children:
 Less capacity for self-regulation in
emotionally charged contexts
 Heightened sensitivity to proximal
external influences (e.g., peer
pressure and immediate incentives)
 Less ability than adults to make
judgments and decisions that
require future orientation
 JJDP 2015 Reauthorization
