Abstract

A DIRECTOR OF THE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT BUREAU OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE DESCRIBES PROGRAMS WHICH ARE PROVIDED UNDER TITLE III OF THE JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT FOR RUNAWAYS. BECAUSE A LARGE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT ARE INTENDED TO HELP JUVENILES IS SPREAD OUT OVER SEVERAL AGENCIES, HE SUGGESTS AN OFFICIAL POLICY FOR JUVENILE SERVICES. THE AUDIOTAPE CASSETTE IS SUITABLE FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES. A TABLE OF CONTENTS IS INCLUDED, BUT OTHER SUPPORTING MATERIALS ARE NOT PROVIDED. FOR RELATED TAPES, SEE NCJ 69273-81 AND NCJ 69283-85.
