Position Statements
NPJS is committed to generating position statements on critical and timely issues confronting the juvenile services profession. The development of a position statement starts with the NPJS Critical Issues and Policy Direction Committee where it is drafted and distributed to membership for review and comment. Once comments are reviewed and appropriate adjustments are made to the statements, they are presented to the NPJS Board of Directors for final approval. Any member-in-good-standing may serve on the Critical Issues and Policy Direction Committee.
Current NPJS Position Statements:
-Use of Electroshock Devices in Juvenile Detention and Secure Residential Facilities
-Placement and Treatment of Pre-Adolescents in a Detention Facility
-Sexual Abuse in Juvenile Confinement Facilities / PREA
-Recruitment, Selection, and Retention of Juvenile Justice Professionals
-Use of Juvenile Detention Facilities for Youth with Severe Mental Health Issues
