2020 National Conference on Juvenile Justice
Join us in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of the NCJFCJ’s National Center for Juvenile Justice, as we present this vital and important educational opportunity for judges, probation officers, detention facility employees, and other stakeholders in the juvenile justice system. This conference will explore gaps in services, discover new and improved practices, share cutting edge research, and motivate participants to explore positive case outcomes for youth involved in the delinquency system.
Some of the featured topics will include: alternatives to detention, trauma-informed justice, cross-over youth, deep-end youth, teen dating violence, ending solitary confinement, domestic sex trafficking of minors, anti-shackling alternatives, racial and ethnic disparity, school pathways to the justice system, brain science, child development, mental health, juvenile and family treatment drug courts, LGBTQ issues in the juvenile justice system, and unaccompanied minors in immigration.
This conference is designed for a wide range of disciplines and open to all those interested in the improvement of the juvenile justice system.
