JUVJUST News @ a Glance U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office of the Assistant Attorney General Washington, D.C. 20531 Dear Conference Attendees: On behalf of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), I am pleased to welcome you to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s (OJJDP’s) National Conference, “Children’s Justice & Safety: Unite, Build, Lead.” One of my top goals for OJP continues to be to strengthen our partnerships with state, local, and tribal justice stakeholders. Nowhere is this more important than in the fields of juvenile justice and child protection. This conference, which brings together juvenile justice researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates from across the country, is an important step toward achieving this goal. From prevention programs to deep- end intervention to child victimization, we have much to share and learn from each other. As you browse the agenda that follows, you will note a broad range of topics and sessions that will be of interest to all participants. In particular, I would highlight some of our new Departmentwide initiatives in which OJJDP plays a significant role, specifically the Defending Childhood initiative and the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention. Both of these efforts demonstrate that establishing strong partnerships across government and with local communities can ultimately improve the systems and services that impact our children’s lives. I am also gratified to see that this agenda reflects OJP’s ongoing emphasis on the importance of data-driven strategies and evidence-based approaches. I firmly believe that applying rigorous scientific methods to understand what works is the best tool we have to make good use of our limited resources. I applaud the juvenile justice field for leading the criminal justice community in its willingness to assess programs and practices and make adjustments based on what the science tells us. This conference promises to provide you with a wealth of information and resources; however, I would be remiss not to acknowledge that there is as much or more to learn from your fellow colleagues. It is a rare opportunity to be among so many individuals working in similar areas on similar problems and with similar goals, so I encourage you to seek out new partners and new ideas to take back to your work and your communities. Warm regards, Laurie O. Robinson Assistant Attorney General Dear Conference Attendees: On behalf of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), welcome to our national conference,“Children’s Justice & Safety: Unite, Build, Lead.” More than 5 years have passed since OJJDP last held a national conference of this magnitude, and much has happened in the juvenile justice field during that time. This conference will provide a snapshot of where juvenile justice is today. During the next 2½ days, you will learn what the latest research and evaluation findings are telling us, see how communities are investing in prom- ising practices and programs, and examine the dominant and emerging issues of our time, all of which will help develop a vision to address the challenges that lie ahead. Conference participants will learn how communities generate solutions and how individuals and groups make a difference in their own neighborhoods. Working together, individuals, groups, and communities can make real and sustained changes. You will hear about major Department of Justice initiatives such as Defending Childhood and the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention, in which communities are developing effective responses to children’s exposure to violence and youth violence. We have invited top experts to discuss anti-gang strategies, juvenile offending, truancy, mentoring, bullying, and youth violence, among many other issues. There is literally something here for everyone in the juvenile justice field. We have planned many special events during the conference. Attorney General Holder will provide comments following a Town Hall meeting featuring leadership from Department of Justice funding agencies. Former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre will discuss his work with the child victims of domestic violence. We will unveil a new disaster planning guide for juvenile facilities. Missing children’s activist Elizabeth Smart will address the conference, as will top congressional leaders and federal government officials. This conference will provide you with the tools you need to help youth in your community to become productive, law-abiding citizens; protect our children and teens and keep them safe; and deter delinquent and criminal behavior. Much has already been accomplished to improve the lives of our nation’s children, but much work remains to be done. By continuing to create partnerships throughout our government and communities, we can build on previous successes to provide our youth with opportunities for a better tomorrow. Thank you again for joining us at this important event.

Therefore, we are writing to you to express our deep concern with President Trump’s recent Executive Order directed at the immigration system, refugees and visitors to this country. This Order not only jeopardizes tens of thousands of lives, it has caused a crisis right here in America and will do long-term damage to our national security. In the middle of the night, just as we were beginning our nation’s commemoration of the Holocaust, dozens of refugees onboard flights to the United States and thousands of visitors were swept up in an Order of unprecedented scope, apparently with little to no oversight or input from national security professionals. Individuals, who have passed through multiple rounds of robust security vetting, including just before their departure, were detained, some reportedly without access to lawyers, right here in U.S. airports. They include not only women and children whose lives have been upended by actual radical terrorists, but brave individuals who put their own lives on the line and worked side-by-side with our men and women in uniform in Iraq now fighting against ISIL.

  • Filling Advice and Consent Positions at the Outset of a New Administration
    Filling Advice and Consent Positions at the Outset of a New Administration -name redacted- Analyst in American National Government Maureen Bearden Information Research Specialist April 1, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R40119 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Filling Advice and Consent Positions at the Outset of a New Administration Summary In its 2004 report, the 9/11 Commission identified what it perceived were shortcomings in the appointment process during presidential transitions. The report asserted that delays in filling top executive branch leadership positions, such as those experienced during the 2000-2001 transition, could compromise national security policymaking in the early months of a new Administration. Although the unique circumstances of the 2000 presidential race truncated the ensuing transition period, the commission’s observations could be applied to other recent transitions; lengthy appointment processes during presidential transitions, particularly between those of different political parties, have been of concern to observers for more than 20 years. The process is likely to develop a bottleneck during this time, even under the best of circumstances, due to the large number of candidates who must be selected, vetted, and, in the case of positions filled through appointment by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate (PAS positions), considered by that body. The appointment process has three stages: selection and vetting, Senate consideration, and presidential appointment. Congress has taken steps to accelerate appointments during presidential transitions. In recent decades, Senate committees have provided for pre-nomination consideration of Cabinet-level nominations; examples of such actions are provided in this report.

Berger Crossroads Counseling Center ABSTRACT This paper examines juvenile delinquency preven- tion programs which implement large-scale intervention and social change strategies. A typology of community organization practice is used to analyze the assump- tions, objectives, and methods underlying these ap- proaches. Three models of community organization-- locality development, social planning, and social action--are used to evaluate three exemplary delin- quency prevention programs: the Chicago Area Project, the 1960's provision of opportunity programs, and the 1960's comprehensive community-based projects such as Mobilization for Youth. The difficulties encountered in implementing these models and programs are identi- fied and assessed.

  • 2010 ANNUAL REPORT Message from the CHAIRMAN & CEO
    CELEBRATING EVERYDAY HEROES COMMUNITY ANTI-DRUG COALITIONS OF AMERICA 2010 ANNUAL REPORT Message FroM the CHAIRMAN & CEO Dear Friends, Preventing substance use and abuse is not easy. Did you know that 50 percent of our high school seniors will try an illicit drug and 40 percent will use alcohol before they graduate? More 8th, 10th, and 12th graders smoke marijuana than cigarettes and prescription drug abuse is at epidemic proportions. And yet, in a number of places, CADCA-trained community coalitions are significantly lowering youth use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs and the abuse of medicines. That’s why this year’s Annual Report celebrates the work of some of our most successful coalition leaders. These leaders may not “leap tall buildings in a single bound,” but they are the unsung, everyday heroes of our movement. And their work has moved figurative mountains for a goliath problem in every community across our country and the world. You’ll hear about our members from West Virginia, Iowa, California, Vermont, Alabama and Brazil as they tell us how CADCA has helped their coalitions to become smarter, faster. Let’s celebrate our everyday heroes who are doing a lot with a little in regards to funding and capacity. They truly are solving big problems at the local level such as reducing prescription drug abuse, marijuana use, and underage drinking. And, they are impactful because their membership organization, CADCA, is helping them along the way. Sincerely, Arthur T. Dean Major General, U.S. Army retired Chairman and CEO CELEBRATING EVERYdaY HEROES 1 2010 HigHligHts NATIONAL COALITION INSTITUTE PUBLIC POLICY In his FY 2011 Budget Request, President Drug use may be going up, but Obama recommended a $9.5 million proposed cut to the Drug Free Com- coalitions trained by CADCA’s munities program, which is a major funding source for CADCA members.

  • Event Speaker Biographies
    Event Speaker Biographies Sally Jewell, Secretary, United States Department of the Interior Sally Jewell was sworn in as the 51st Secretary of the Interior on April 12, 2013. In nominating Jewell, President Obama said, “She is an expert on the energy and climate issues that are going to shape our future. She is committed to building our nation-to-nation relationship with Indian Country. She knows the link between conservation and good jobs. She knows that there’s no contradiction between being good stewards of the land and our economic progress; that in fact, those two things need to go hand in hand.” As Secretary of the Interior, Jewell leads an agency with more than 70,000 employees. Interior serves as steward for approximately 20 percent of the nation’s lands, including national parks, national wildlife refuges, and other public lands; oversees the responsible development of conventional and renewable energy supplies on public lands and waters; is the largest supplier and manager of water in the 17 Western states; and upholds trust responsibilities to the 566 federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives. Prior to her confirmation, Jewell served in the private sector, most recently as President and Chief Executive Officer of Recreation Equipment Inc. (REI). Jewell joined REI as Chief Operating Officer in 2000 and was named CEO in 2005. During her tenure, REI nearly tripled in business to $2 billion and was consistently ranked one of the 100 best companies to work for by Fortune Magazine. Before joining REI, Jewell spent 19 years as a commercial banker, first as an energy and natural resources expert and later working with a diverse array of businesses that drive our nation’s economy.

    War on Drugs - Wikipedia 17.08.17, 1140 War on Drugs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The War on Drugs" is an American term[6][7] usually applied to the United States government's campaign of prohibition of drugs, military aid, and military intervention, with the stated aim being to reduce the illegal drug trade.[8][9] This initiative includes a set of drug policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of psychoactive drugs that the participating governments and the UN have made illegal. The term was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference given on June 18, 1971, by United States President Richard Nixon—the day after publication of a special message from President Nixon to As part of the War on Drugs, the US the Congress on Drug Abuse Prevention and Control—during which spends approximately $500 million per year on aid for Colombia, largely used to he declared drug abuse "public enemy number one".

Prevention efforts are noted to proceed along three distinct levels: promoting healthy development for all youth, focusing on youth who appear to be on the road to delinquency, and reaching youth who are already juvenile offenders. Two sections include descriptions of, small-scale (such as individual services, special education provisions, and work experience) and large-scale (area intervention in cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C.) intervention programs. Results from action-oriented and research-oriented delinquency projects are reported and the research methodology used in evaluation of programs is examined. Studies on the problems and evaluations of youth. service bureaus are cited. Outlined are three models for prevention (including a model for developing a community resource system) and proposed policy directions (in such areas as deinstitutionalization and school responsiveness). Appended is a paper on a family-oriented natural systems prevention model.(SB) *********************************************************************** Documents acquired by ERIC include many informal unpublished * materials not available from other sources.
