Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago
Variant namesThe Juvenile Court Committee, established as a not-for-profit organization in 1904, had as its chief purpose the aiding of dependent and delinquent children until their cases were heard by the Juvenile Court. Their primary objective was to have probation and detention home officers placed under county civil service and paid out of public funds. After this was accomplished in 1907, the members of the Committee decided to expand their area of interest and their membership, and change their name. The Juvenile Protective Association, registered as a not-for-profit organization in 1907, had as its chief purposes the investigation of conditions that put the welfare of children in jeopardy, the repression of conditions which helped produce juvenile delinquency, and arousing public sentiment against abuses of children. The Juvenile Protective Association continues to exist, currently focusing its attention on children who have been victims of abuse.
