Juvenile Justice Committee Needs Your Help [JJIE.org]

Let’s begin with a short quiz.

1. Who advises the president and Congress about matters of juvenile justice policy? My guess is that “lobbyists” is the first answer that comes to mind and, of course, that answer is correct but incomplete. There is a legislatively created committee of citizens to render such advice; it is the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice —usually called FACJJ.
2. Where does this committee reside? Most readers of JJIE will guess the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and that is the right response.
3. Why am I asking these questions? Because new members are being selected now and we need your help — by Aug. 12 — THIS FRIDAY!
