ANNOTATION: Established in 1955, the Interstate Compact on Juveniles (ICJ) was created in order to "manage the interstate movement of adjudicated youth, the return of non-adjudicated runaway youth, and the return of youth to states where they were charged with delinquent acts (p. 1)." General observations, Compact activity and administration, Compact performance, problem areas, and recommendations from the field are presented. An estimated 15,000 active cases were being managed by the ICJ at mid-year 1999, with 30-33% of requests to transfer cases being denied by the receiving states.
