      "summary": "Although juvenile justice has always been administered by the states, Congress has had significant influence in the area through grant funding and programs provided by the Department of Justice\u2019s (DOJ\u2019s) Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974, P.L. 93-415, was the first comprehensive juvenile justice legislation passed by Congress. The act has four mandates for fund recipients: status offenders, such as truants, cannot be institutionalized; juveniles cannot be detained in local jails or lockups with adults; juveniles must be separated from adult offenders and adult offender staff in jail; and states must address disproportionate minority confinement. Since 1974, the act has undergone several key amendments, including a significant reorganization enacted by P.L. 107-273 in 2002. Funding for juvenile justice programs within DOJ has been reduced by 37% from FY2002 to FY2006. In FY2007, the President\u2019s request would reduce juvenile justice funding within DOJ by 43% to $198 million.",
