Mission Statement

Improving the Youth Justice System for All

Through the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJPDA) as amended in 2018, the Tennessee Commisison on Children and Youth (TCCY) provides funding and technical assitance to improve the youth justice system for all youth. Participation in the JJDPA requires Tennessee to collect and analyze data to ensure compliance. The data points include arrest, diversion, pre-trial detention, secure confinement, and transer to adult court.
