National Videoconference on Juvenile Status Offenders

From an email from the OJP/OJJDP:

On Thursday, January 18, 2007, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, in conjunction with the American Bar Association's Commission on Youth at Risk and the Family and Youth Services Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will air the national videoconference "Addressing the Needs of Juvenile Status Offenders and Their Families."

This live satellite/Internet videoconference will focus on the factors that may lead a status offender to become more deeply involved in serious risk behavior, offending, and the juvenile justice system. The broadcast will highlight programs, practices, and policies that have shown promise in intervening with status offenders by reducing further offending, providing support to their families, and steering them toward a positive future. The broadcast will be available for viewing via satellite downlink or Internet Web streaming.
