The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announces the availability of OJJDP News @ a Glance, March/April 2021. This issue's Message From the Administrator highlights National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The top story focuses on the shift children's advocacy centers made to continue responding to cases of child abuse after the emergence of COVID-19. The Youth Voices column recounts how an OJJDP-funded reentry and gang intervention program benefited a youth returning to Oakland, CA, from juvenile detention. The issue also marks the debut of the new 'Tribal Connections' section, which will focus on the efforts of tribes and other entities to support American Indian and Alaska Native youth.
