Juvenile Justice Best Practices Bulletin on Interagency Information Sharing

Julie Slayton authored this Bulletin as part of the OJJDP's Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants (JAIBG) Best Practices Series. The JAIBG program was initially funded in fiscal year 1998 and is based on the premise that holding juvenile offenders accountable for their law-violating behavior is key to improving community quality of life.
