The compacting states to this Interstate Compact recognize that each state is responsible for the proper supervision or return of juveniles, delinquents and status offenders who are on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped or run away from supervision and control and in so doing have endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible for the safe return of juveniles who have run away from home and in doing so have left their state of residence. The compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the Crime Control Act, 4 U.S.C. Section 112 (1965), has authorized and encouraged compacts for cooperative efforts and mutual assistance in the prevention of crime.
Shared Horizons
Pursuant to Article IX of the Interstate Compact for Juveniles (ICJ), Idaho established Shared Horizons, the state’s ICJ advisory council. The council is composed of juvenile justice professionals, a victim advocate, the Idaho Interstate Compact Administrator, and representatives from the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government.
Shared Horizons serves in both an advisory and advocacy capacity, working to elevate awareness of the Compact among state leaders, non-governmental organizations, and the public. The council also acts as Idaho’s in-state partner to the Interstate Commission for Juveniles, the national governing body responsible for the administration and oversight of the ICJ.
