NCSL Partners with MacArthur Foundation on Juvenile Justice
The National Conference of State Legislatures announces a partnership project
with the John
D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation headquartered in Chicago, Ill., to inform and assist state legislatures on
juvenile justice issues. Over the next two years, NCSL's Criminal Justice Program
expects to prepare briefing papers and convene site visits that respond to state
legislative interests and build leadership capacity for review and reform of
juvenile justice.
The MacArthur Foundation supports research, model programs, policy analysis, and
public education to promote more effective juvenile justice systems across the
country. The Foundation currently is working in four states to establish
models
for successful reform as part of its national juvenile justice initiative.
