- Child Welfare-Juvenile Justice Systems Integration
The CWLA Juvenile Justice Division was established in 2000 through a multiyear grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to raise the awareness of the connection between child maltreatment and juvenile justice and to promote improved coordination and integration across the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Through this focus, the CWLA Juvenile Justice Division will achieve the goal of reducing the incidence of juvenile delinquency nationwide and reducing reliance on incarceration for accused or adjudicated delinquent youth.
