WHO WE ARE

---

The American Association of Juvenile Justice Researchers and Scholars (AAJJRS) is a KLK Research Group membership organization located in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area in Prince George's County, Maryland. 

AAJRS's mission is to advance, promote, and disseminate scholarly research on juvenile justice, delinquency prevention, and youth victimization. We also provide professional development and networking opportunities through traditional methods, such as publications, and contemporary approaches, including the JusticeTalks Podcast.    

 🎉Celebrating Five Years of AAJJRS

In 2026, AAJJRS proudly celebrates five years of advancing juvenile justice and youth victimization research, scholarship, and community. We are grateful to the researchers, scholars, students, practitioners, and supporters who have been part of our journey, and we look forward to building on that foundation in the years ahead.
