Juvenile Protective Association : ウィキペディア英語版 | Juvenile Protective Association Juvenile Protective Association (JPA) is a private non-profit agency devoted to protecting children from abuse and neglect by providing intervention and treatment services to families in Chicago. == History == Founded in Chicago in 1901 by Jane Addams and her colleagues, the Juvenile Court Committee (JCC) provided the first probation officers for the first Juvenile Court in the United States before this became a government function.〔Ford, Eileen. "Private Initiative and Public Support: The Chicago Juvenile Protective Association." ''The First 100 years of the Cook County Juvenile Court''. Chicago Bar Association, 1999, 30.〕 In 1907 the JCC merged with the Juvenile Protection League, an organization devoted to preventing juvenile delinquency, and renamed itself the Juvenile Protective Association.〔Juvenile Protective Association Papers, Folder 10, Juvenile Court Committee, University of Illinois at Chicago University Library, Department of Special Collections.〕 From 1907 until the 1940s, JPA engaged in many studies examining such subjects as racism, child labor and exploitation, drug abuse and prostitution in Chicago and their effects on child development. Beginning in the 1940s under the leadership of Jessie F. Binford, JPA chose to concentrate on direct service and to help the most resistant clients with a strong outreach (home visiting) component.〔Ford, 35.〕 When Lewis Penner became executive director of JPA in 1952, he reformed the organization by hiring social workers holding professional master's degrees and focusing more on research and casework over social reform.〔Anderson, Paul Gerard. "The Good To Be Done: A History of Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago, 1898-1976". (Ph.D. diss., University of Chicago, 1988), 447.〕 In the 1960s, JPA participated with other child welfare agencies in establishing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). In 1990, JPA made a strategic decision to focus on serving high-risk and vulnerable families with young children (age 0-5) to reduce the risk of maltreatment and provide help to vulnerable children early in life and maximize the impact of intervention on their developmental trajectory.
