From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (or OJJDP) is an office of the United States Department of Justice and a component of the Office of Justice Programs.
OJJDP sponsors research, program, and training initiatives; develops priorities and goals and sets policies to guide federal juvenile justice issues; disseminates information about juvenile justice issues; and awards funds to states to support local programming nationwide through the office's five organizational components.
The office is headed by an administrator. Since April 2002, J. Robert Flores has held that position.
