Juvenile Justice Model Data Project

The National Center for Juvenile Justice will implement The Model Data Project to improve state and local data and data analysis practices through the systematic development and dissemination of model data elements and measures. This project builds a foundation for effective data and measurement practices in juvenile justice through development of (1) model data elements with definitions and coding categories, (2) model measures and analyses, and (3) a comprehensive strategy to disseminate and promote usage. The activities undertaken as part of this program assist OJJDP in fulfilling its responsibility to improve the consistency and quality of justice information and to inform data-driven policy and practice decisions at the federal, state, and local levels.
