Recommendations for Effective Law Enforcement
Leadership on Juvenile Justice Reform

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has released "Law Enforcement's Leadership Role in Juvenile Justice Reform: Actionable Recommendations for Practice & Policy." Reporting on the work of the National Summit on Law Enforcement Leadership in Juvenile Justice convened in September 2013, the document sets forth 33 recommendations for concrete actions that law enforcement leaders can take in collaboration with partners at the local, state, and national levels. Several of the recommendations address responding to youth with behavioral health conditions and trauma histories.

The Mental Health and Juvenile Justice Collaborative for Change (Collaborative for Change) is pleased to share the work of the IACP. As strategic allies in the MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change Resource Center Partnership, the Collaborative for Change and the IACP strive to ensure that best practices and lessons are disseminated to the policy makers and practitioners who need them.

Child Maltreatment Data Available Online

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has launched an online access tool of national data gathered from the "Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-4): Report to Congress." The NIS-4 data, collected in 2005 and 2006 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, provide updated estimates of the number of children who are abused or neglected. NIS-4 data combine information about children whose incidence rates of maltreatment was investigated by child protective services with data on maltreated children identified by professionals. NIS-4 also provides information on the nature and severity of the maltreatment , as well as the characteristics of children, perpetrators, and families involved.
