Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act

The Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act is a law aimed at reducing youth involvement in crime by providing targeted programs and services. It encourages communities to focus on preventing juvenile offenses through education, mental health support, and family intervention, rather than just punishment. The act emphasizes treating juvenile offenders in a way that promotes rehabilitation, addressing underlying issues like trauma or lack of resources, and keeping young people engaged in positive activities. Overall, it's about helping young people stay on a healthy path and avoiding future problems.
