The N.C. Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (DJJDP) was established in July 2000 by pulling together the components of state government that previously worked independently to address juvenile delinquency and crime. DJJDP was the first cabinet level agency to focus on issues of juvenile justice issues and at risk youth in the state.
DJJDP has the responsibility of protecting the public from juvenile crime and promoting the positive development of youth. We work to fulfill this responsibility in a number of ways. Our programs and services make u[ a comprehensive continuum that meets the needs of a wide range of youth and their families, from those who are in local schools and communities to those who are confined to DJJDP facilities. We provide programs and services that focus on early prevention as well as those that are oriented toward intervention and confinement. Our programs and services fir together to form a juvenile justice system designed to keep the public safe and reduce the occurrence of juvenile crime.
In past years, Juvenile Justice has been moved to the Department of Public Safety.
