Tuesday, August 30, 2011
In early 2011, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conducted the Juvenile Justice Training Needs Assessment Survey of law enforcement around the nation to identify challenges and training needs facing law enforcement in addressing juvenile crime, delinquency and victimization. The survey identifies law enforcement challenges, needs and priorities relating to juvenile justice.
There were 672 responses to this national survey from participants representing 404 law enforcement agencies from 49 states and the District of Columbia. Participants represented agencies of varying sizes from rural, suburban, and urban geographic areas.
The Juvenile Justice Needs Assessment Survey revealed various challenges that law enforcement face within their departments and the broader criminal justice system that are barriers to effectively addressing juvenile crime, delinquency and victimization.
The survey identified the most pressing issues and concerns facing law enforcement agencies relating to juvenile crime, delinquency and victimization as:
1. Substance Abuse
2. Abuse (physical, sexual and/or emotional)
3. Juvenile Repeat Offenders
4. Bullying/Cyberbullying
5. Gangs
6. Internet Crimes involving juveniles/youth (as perpetrator/victim)
7. Runaways
8. School Safety
