Juvenile Justice Publications

In January of 2023, NDAA published the updated National Prosecution Standards which are provided on this page in a link below. This publication includes a Juvenile Justice chapter (Chapter V.) which includes standards pertaining to Diversion, Diversion and Charging Criteria, Disposition, Victim Impact, and other important Juvenile Justice areas. Historical Juvenile Justice publications are also listed on this page below the National Prosecution Standards.

NDAA will soon be publishing a Handbook for Juvenile Prosecutors and a curriculum on How to Build and Improve Relationships between Youth and Law Enforcement.
