Government Administration

The JJC was established in 1995 by statute to lead the reform of the juvenile justice system in the State of New Jersey. The JJC is the single agency of State government with centralized authority for planning, policy development and provision of services in the juvenile justice system. Its three primary responsibilities are the care and custody, and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders committed to the agency by the courts, the support of local efforts to provide services to at risk and court involved youth, and the supervision of youth on juvenile parole. Woven through all JJC efforts is its charge to protect the citizens of the State of New Jersey. Every decision is made with the understanding that it is our responsibility to maintain personal safety, promote responsibility and build stronger communities. In order to achieve that goal, the JJC has undertaken diverse measures to address the multifaceted issue of juvenile justice. The JJC emphasizes accountability and offers programming that afford young people the opportunity to become independent, productive and law abiding citizens.
