Juvenile Justice/Dual Status

Generally, children who are 10 years of age or older but under 17 years of age and are alleged to have engaged in delinquent conduct or conduct indicating a need for supervision are subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Dual status refers to a child with concurrent child welfare and juvenile justice system involvement.

The Children’s Commission is expanding our work in this area of law, so more juvenile justice/dual status content is coming soon! In the meantime, below are some of our previous and upcoming projects.
