FAQs

OJJDP established the Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse (JJC) in 1979 to provide individuals and organizations with easy access to a comprehensive collection of information and resources on juvenile justice topics. Through print and other media, JJC offers the latest research findings, descriptions of promising programs, publications on youth-related issues, practical guides and manuals, announcements of funding opportunities, and other useful resources—all prepared by the nation's foremost experts in juvenile justice and related issues.

JJC's dedicated team of juvenile justice professionals can answer questions over the phone or via e-mail; provide statistics and technical assistance; perform customized literature searches; compile information packages; refer individuals to the appropriate grantee, contractor, or agency; and mail publications or videotapes. JJC is a component of the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.
