JUVENILE JUSTICE

In our Education role, we present unbiased, nonpartisan information to facilitate informed and active participation in government.

The League of Women Voters of California has researched and discussed the subject of Juvenile Justice since 1995.

The system is incredibly complex, affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of children across the state.

WHAT'S NEW?

Recent litigation, investigations by experts, and legislation are forcing drastic changes at the state’s secure youth facilities. See “Changes at California’s Division of Juvenile Justice,” based on LWVC research.
