In "Deinstitutionalizing Status Offenders: A Record of Progress," Gwen Holden and Robert Kapler note that the JJDP Act has fundamentally changed the way our Nation deals with troubled youth. Gordon Raley's overview, "The JJDP Act: A Second Look," details the changes in the Act approved by Congress over the past two decades. The author offers his thought-provoking recommendations as we approach the dawn of the 21st century. Additional insights into the history of the JJDP Act are provided by Michael Saucier in "Birth of a Partnership," while James Brown describes some of the significant accomplishments attained under the aegis of the Act in his article, "Beyond the Mandates." | |
