The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is an office of the United States Department of Justice and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). OJJDP supports states, local communities and tribal jurisdictions in their efforts to develop and implement effective programs for juveniles. The office strives to strengthen the juvenile justice system's efforts to protect public safety, hold offenders accountable and provide services that address the needs of youth and their families. Through its components, OJJDP sponsors research; program and training initiatives; develops priorities and goals; sets policies to guide federal juvenile justice issues; disseminates information about juvenile justice issues, and awards funds to states to support local programming.

OJJDP also disseminates information about juvenile justice issues and awards funds to states to support local programming nationwide through the office's five organizational components. OJJDP publishes the Juvenile Residential Facility Census Databook (JRFCDB) on even numbered years, summarizing data on youth detention.[1]

The office cooperates with other federal agencies on special projects. For example, it formed the National Gang Center along with OJP and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). OJJDP has the National Gang Center linked through the National Gang Center.[2]

In January 2025, President Donald Trump appointed Eileen M. Garry as administrator. She currently leads the program in an acting capacity.[3]
