JU Public Policy: Juvenile Justice Policy Forum
On November 20, 2014 JU Public Policy Institute will host State Attorney Angela Corey, Sheriff John Rutherford, Public Defender Matt Shirk and Judge Henry Davis for their Juvenile Justice Policy Forum.
MetroJacksonville.com has partnered with JU Public Policy in order to magnify the need for sophisticated policy development and implementation in the Jacksonville metro area and beyond. In about three years, the decidedly apolitical JU Public Policy Institute has brought together power brokers from all aspects of our society through their conferences, forums and panels. The Institute is situated to become the nucleus of policy research for the region and will very likely become the goto organization to manage policy discussions and provide objective policy analysis.
This Thursday, JU Public Policy Institute hosts:
Juvenile Justice Policy: Our Future
Davis College of Business, 1st Floor; Jacksonville University, 2800 University Blvd. N.
November 20, 2014

Has juvenile justice become arduous and contradictory, expensive and ineffective?
JU Public Policy Institute will discuss the difficult issues surrounding juvenile justice with four key individuals, regionally renown for their functions in the Florida criminal justice system.
The conversation will focus on Duval County but will expand to state and national trends.
There will be time for questions. JU Public Policy Institute is decidedly apolitical. It is the hope of The Institute that individuals of differing opinions and perspectives attend.
Below are insightful talks about juvenile justice. One is from TEDxJacksonville and the other is from TED national.
