C ommunities play the primary role in preventing juvenile delinquency
and the criminal victimization of juveniles. Working to engage all
community members – business leaders, media representatives, teachers,
parents, grandparents, young people, policy makers, clergy, elected
officials and law enforcement – is vital for ensuring the health and wellbeing of children.
When all members of the community work together to achieve common
goals, everyone benefits from the strength of a working relationship.
The Lake County Juvenile Justice Council strives to engage Lake County
youth resources to prevent and discourage juvenile crime.
Funding provided in whole or in part by the Illinois Department of Human Services.
