Juvie link roundup

Grits would like to pass on a few links related to juvenile justice issues for interested readers, even if I don't have time right now to delve too deeply into them.

• The new website for the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) is now filled out somewhat beyond the "shell" phase of its initial rollout.
• County magazine recently published a feature about the creation of the TJJD from the merger of the Youth Commission and juvenile probation.
• See TJJD's 2011 Annual Review of Treatment Effectiveness (pdf).
• Here's a link to the information packet (large pdf) given to members of TJJD's Board at their February meeting. Their next meeting is April 6 in Fort Worth.
