This is an account of the findings of Project MIJJIT, a group of studies undertaken by the Academy for Contemporary Problems of Columbus, Ohio, under the sponsorship of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Abstract
Significant findings summarized here concern the growth of programs providing grants-in-aid from state governments to local counties for the support of juvenile justice programs, constitutional questions regarding juvenile court services, the placement of children in out-of-state programs, and the waiver of juvenile court jurisdiction. Their significance for the survival of juvenile justice and its institutions is briefly discussed. (Author abstract)
