JUVENILE SEX OFFENDERS

Juveniles who offend sexually present major challenges to the juvenile justice system. The role of the court and probation are key elements to successful interventions and outcomes. The NCJFCJ is involved in ongoing efforts to develop guidelines for judges and juvenile probation officers in the management of juvenile sex offenders, as well as training both groups to improve the effectiveness of the process. In addition, NCJFCJ is committed to helping judges and other juvenile justice professionals develop strategies to work within the framework of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.
