The JJPAD Board was established as a permanent entity by “An Act Relative to Criminal Justice Reform” in 2018. The Board consists of members representing a broad spectrum of stakeholders involved in the juvenile justice system as well as child welfare and other child serving agencies. The Legislature charged the JJPAD Board with evaluating juvenile justice system policies and procedures and making recommendations to improve outcomes.
The JJPAD Data Subcommittee is tasked with studying and making recommendations for improving juvenile justice system data collection and reporting. As such, the Data Subcommittee publishes special topic documents and reports related to the juvenile justice system data, availability and reporting.
