When it comes to juvenile justice, we know that interventions and accountability should be informed by evidence-based research and data and that the complexities of this issue require multi-faceted solutions.

In its 35th year of publication, the KIDS COUNT® Data Book focuses on students’ lack of basic reading and math skills, a problem decades in the making but brought to light by the focus on learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unprecedented drops in learning from 2019 to 2022 amounted to decades of lost progress. Chronic absence has sharply increased, particularly among children living in poverty who struggle to consistently return to their regular school day routines.
The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) was signed in to law in February 2018 as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act (HR. 1892). Its purpose was to turn the focus of the child welfare system toward keeping children safely with their families to avoid the trauma that results when children are placed in out-of-home care.
The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) was first authorized in 1974 and established core protections for incarcerated youth. The Act expired in 2007. On December 13, 2018, Congress passed H.R. 6964 with broad bipartisan support. Major changes were made to the Act.
