The Inter-American Institute for Youth Justice
The Inter-American Institute for Youth Justice (Justice4Youth) is dedicated to serving youth in conflict with the law. The purpose of the institute is to assist local, national, and multi-national groups to respond proactively to issues of delinquency and youth violence. Justice4Youth initiatives and projects serve as a catalyst to strengthen communication across national boundaries, and as a means by which communities and nations in the Americas can identify critical youth justice issues, develop well-informed policies and practices to improve outcomes for court-involved youth, increase public safety, and reduce delinquency and youth violence.
