Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention -

The JDDPA was reformed in 2018 by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act. Because it is a redlined version, this version of the JJDPA allows readers to see what changes were made when the JDDPA was reauthorized and amended by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018.
