NCSL has produced an audio program, "Juvenile Justice: An Overview for New Legislators." In the 38-minute program, a group of experienced state lawmakers discuss comprehensive juvenile justice and the process of crafting and moving related legislation. We hope new members, as well as returning members who are new to juvenile justice issues, will find it enlightening.
