In 2024, the NCJFCJ’s work impacted approximately 4 million families across the nation. Our publications amassed over 94,000 views, the team fulfilled over 150 requests for technical assistance, and trained over 15,000 judges, judicial officers, attorneys, and other juvenile and family-court related professionals across the nation.
Multidisciplinary campus professionals representing student conduct, law enforcement, and prevention participated in the Office on Violence Against Women’s Campus Training and Technical Assistance Institute (TTI), an opportunity extended to each campus grantee five times over the course of three years. These in-person institutes combined with webinars and intensive, customized support from national experts are designed to help college and university campuses enhance their capacity to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus.
One judicial officer from South Dakota attended the 2024 Institute for New Juvenile and Family Court Judges. The Institute is designed specifically for state and tribal judicial officers who are new to the bench, newly assigned to a juvenile or family rotation, or who are returning to the juvenile and family court bench after other assignments and desire a refresher course. This intensive and interactive four and a half day program, previously known as Core College, is designed so participants can leave with increased knowledge, practical tools, and an essential foundation of best practices to use in the cases coming before them.
Judicial system professionals from South Dakota participated in the Rural, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program New Grantee Orientation hosted by the NCJFCJ’s Technical Assistance to Technical Assistance Provider’s (TA2TA) Resource Center and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Judicial system professionals from South Dakota received specialized child welfare, domestic violence, and juvenile justice training on current and cutting-edge topics and research during the NCJFCJ’s National Conference on Juvenile Justice.
The state of South Dakota contributes juvenile court data to the National Juvenile Court Data Archive, funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). This national project of the NCJFCJ provides detailed and accurate information on the activities of the nation’s juvenile courts to juvenile justice professionals, policy makers, researchers, and the public.
The landscape of juvenile justice in South Dakota is detailed through the Juvenile Justice Geography, Policy, Practice and Statistics website (JJGPS.org), a project of the NCJFCJ’s research division, the National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ). JJGPS is an online resource that tracks juvenile justice reform in each state, allowing for comparisons within and across states.
