The United States of America does not have a juvenile justice system. Rather, it has 51 separate systems.


The State Juvenile Justice Profiles web site features rich, descriptive information and analysis regarding each state's juvenile justice system, illustrating the uniqueness of the 51 separate juvenile justice systems in this country.
