juvenile justice outcomes. The Council 

has identified four priority issue areas 

for this close examination: (1) Education 

and At-Risk Youth, (2) Juvenile Reentry 

and Transitions into Adulthood, (3) 

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Juvenile 

Justice and Related Systems, and (4) 

Tribal Youth and Juvenile Justice.

paragraph. 

II. Overview of Coordinating Council 

The Coordinating Council on Juvenile 

Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 

established pursuant to Section 3(2)A of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) works to carry out its 

advisory functions under Section 206 of 

the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 

Prevention Act of 2002, 42 U.S.C. 5601, 

et seq. 

The Council membership is composed 

of the Attorney General (Chair), the 

Administrator of the Office of Juvenile 

Justice and Delinquency Prevention 

(Vice Chair), the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), the Secretary of 

Labor, the Secretary of Education, the 

Secretary of Housing and Urban 

Development, the Director of the Office 

of National Drug Control Policy, the 

Chief Executive Officer of the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service, and the Assistant 

Secretary of Homeland Security for U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

Affiliate agencies are the Departments of 

Defense, the Interior, and Agriculture 

and the Substance and Mental Health 

Services Administration of HHS. Other 

Federal agencies may take part in 

Council activities. Up to nine additional 

members are appointed by the Speaker 

of the House of Representatives, the 

Senate Majority Leader, and the 

President of the United States. 

The Council has initiated crossdepartment teams of Federal employees 

and others organized around four 

priority issues: 

• Education and At-Risk Youth 

• Tribal Youth and Juvenile Justice 

• Juvenile Reentry and Transitions to 

Adulthood 

• Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the 

Juvenile Justice System and Related 

Systems 

The issue teams are assessing and 

identifying policies, practices, 

regulations, and where applicable, 

legislation, that foster or hinder ways to 

improve access to, use of and 

coordination of Federal resources by 

Tribes, states, localities, organizations 

and individuals toward the goal of 

improving Federal practice and, by 

extension, the well being of children 

and families. Resulting 

recommendations may be incorporated

Report to Congress. 

III. Brief Descriptions of Priority Issues 

1. Education and At-Risk Youth 

The best way to keep young people 

out of trouble is to keep them in school. 

Without structure and supervision that 

school provides, young people often 

turn to delinquent or criminal behavior 

during school hours and end up in the 

juvenile justice system, with most not 

completing high school. A number of 

factors contribute to the failure of young 

people to complete schooling including: 

Chronic truancy, educational instability, 

‘‘push out,’’ issues of access, co-occuring 

factors, school connectedness, and the 

absences of positive activities for 

afterschool times. 

2. Juvenile Reentry and Transitions to 

Adulthood 

Young people reentering the 

community from juvenile residential 

facilities often lack the support they 

need to change the course of their lives 

and avoid the destructive cycle of 

recidivism. The multiple needs of these 

young people (schooling, stable 

housing, skills to obtain meaningful 

employment, physical and mental 

health problems, etc.) require 

coordination of services, supervision, 

and support at the local level to help 

ensure each youth a successful 

transition back home and to adulthood. 

Youth aging out of foster care and youth 

who are homeless have similar needs for 

transitional support. A number of 

Federal policies, practices, programs, 

and legislation affect local and state 

capacity to provide solid support 

through transition. 

3. Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the 

Juvenile Justice and Related Systems 

Disproportionate contact of minorities 

(DMC) in juvenile justice has been a 

challenge for policymakers for decades. 

DMC is not an issue specific to the 

justice system; it is connected with 

inequities in other youth-serving 

systems and requires exploration of the 

relationship between child welfare, 

education, and youth’s socioeconomic 

status. The team seeks to identify 

Federal legislation and practices that 

both assist States and those that 

function as barriers in reducing 

disparities in juvenile justice, child 

welfare, and education. 

4. Tribal Youth and Juvenile Justice 

Tribal youth face a host of 

challenges—poverty, child abuse and 

neglect, exposure to family violence, 

substance abuse, the highest rate of 

suicides among all youth, and a weak 

educational system. Without 

intervention and remediation these 

issues can lead to additional negative 

outcomes including delinquency. 

Multiple Federal agencies have specific 

responsibility for working with Indian 

Country, notably, the Departments of 

Agriculture, Justice, Health and Human 

Services, Housing and Urban 

Development, and Interior. The 

overlapping mosaic of policies, 

regulations, guidelines and programs 

can challenge achievement of desired 

results. 

IV. Guiding Questions for Commenters 

The Council’s issue teams have 

identified a number of questions to 

focus their examination, and the 

Council is particularly interested in 

receiving comments addressing some or 

all of these questions. The first question 

for three of the topic areas is listed by 

topic as follows: 

Education and At-Risk Youth: What is 

the Federal role in preventing youth 

from entering the juvenile justice system 

and successfully graduating from high 

school prepared for adulthood? 

Juvenile Reentry and Transitions to 

Adulthood: What is the Federal role in 

helping ensure youth graduate and 

successfully transition back home and 

into adulthood (from juvenile facilities, 

out of the foster care system, and in 

returning home and to their 

communities from runaway/thrown 

away/homeless status)? 

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the 

Juvenile Justice and Related Systems: 

How do you view the Federal role with 

regard to racial and ethnic disparities? 

For these first three topic areas, all of 

the questions below also apply: 

a. What does the Federal government 

do well? What needs to be changed? 

b. Are there Federal practices, 

policies, legislation, and/or regulations 

that support or restrict the successful 

education of youth; reentry and/or 

transitions to adulthood; or addressing 

of racial/ethnic disparities in the 

juvenile justice and related systems? 

What role does technical/training 

support have in redressing restrictions? 

c. Are there legislative challenges 

affecting this issue that should be 

brought to the attention of the Federal 

agencies? What ought Federal agencies 

do about them? 

d. What results and/or consequences 

might occur from the enacted 

recommendations? 

e. Is there anything else the Federal 

government should be aware of 

concerning this topic? 

The Council’s Tribal Youth issue team 

requests public comments addressing 

the following questions: 

a. How do you view the Federal role 

with regard to tribal youth and their 

families? 

b. What does the Federal government 

do well for tribal youth? What needs to 

be changed? 

c. Describe what Federal practices, 

policies, or regulations support or fail to 

support Tribal youth and their families. 

What comes to mind when you think of 

barriers? Alternatively, areas of good 

practice (to meeting the needs for 

belonging, mastery, independence and 

generosity)? 

d. Are there legislative challenges 

affecting issues related to Tribal youth 

and juvenile justice that should be 

brought to the attention of the Federal 

agencies? What ought Federal agencies 

do about them? Who are the key people 

to help with this issue? 

e. What results and/or consequences 

might occur in Indian Country from 

enacted recommendations? Are there 

individuals, agencies or systems that 

might not welcome the 

recommendations or changes in policies 

(Tribal Youth, Tribes, and Agencies)? 

f. Is there anything else the Federal 

government should be aware of 

concerning tribal youth justice, 

specifically in the areas of youth 

prevention, intervention, detention and 

reentry?
