IACP Releases Report on Juvenile Justice Training Needs of Law Enforcement

The International Association of Chiefs of Police recently published Juvenile Justice Training Needs Assessment: A Survey of Law Enforcement. This survey of law enforcement around the nation was designed to identify challenges and training needs facing law enforcement in addressing juvenile crime, delinquency, and victimization.

The survey identified a number of challenges that law enforcement officials 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:

  • substance abuse,
  • abuse (physical, sexual, and/or emotional),
  • juvenile repeat offenders,
  • bullying/cyberbullying,
  • gangs,
  • Internet crimes involving juveniles/youth (as perpetrator/victim),
  • runaways, and
  • school safety.
