Professor Elizabeth Jones’ presentation, “Reflections on (Almost) 40 Years of the JJDPA and its Rehabilitative Agenda” is included on a panel entitled “The New Faces of Rehabilitation.”

Professor Jones’s presentation analyzes a piece of federal legislation, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, and its various iterations over the past 38 years. It addresses the JJDPA’s four “core requirements” necessary for juvenile rehabilitation, and proposes practical steps state and local governments can pursue in their rehabilitative agendas.
