Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research

The Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research (CJJT&R) is located at Shippensburg University and is the home of our training, Graduate Education, Balanced and Restorative Justice and Communities that Care programs. The Information Technology Division (ITD) is also located here.

The Information Technology Division collects, compiles and publishes the juvenile court statistics for the Commonwealth. These statistics are used to analyze the function of juvenile courts and to develop long-range plans for future court operations. The statistics are compiled into an annual dispositional report. Additionally, the ITD provides various reports to county probation departments and to other local, state and federal agencies, upon request.

The center also coordinates and presents training seminars each year to more than 3,000 juvenile probation officers, juvenile court judges and staff from both private and public residential facilities. Programs are designed to enhance participant's skills in working with juvenile offenders and in the administration of services.
