About Us
Our staff members are working to create a world where the response to youth who get in trouble with the law is developmentally appropriate, free of racial and ethnic bias, and focused on building strengths that help youth thrive in their own communities. Our staff members pursue a range of different activities to achieve these goals, including training, technical assistance, administrative and legislative advocacy, research, writing, media outreach, and public education.
Eliminating Racial & Ethnic Disparities
CCLP staff members are working with several jurisdictions on strategies to reduce and eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in the youth justice systems.
Ending Dangerous Conditions
CCLP works throughout the country to expose and stop abuses of incarcerated youth. Our staff also work to ensure that the small number of youth who are placed out of home receive the services and supports they need.
