OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 12 (AScribe Newswire) -- The National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD), the nation's oldest and most respected criminal justice research organization, is celebrating its 100th anniversary at the Essex House Hotel in New York on Friday, October 20, 2006. As part of this celebration, we will be honoring the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and its President, Douglas W. Nelson, with the Katie Nichols Award. The Nichols Award is given annually to a leader in the private or nonprofit sector who shows a significant and sustained commitment to community service consistent with NCCD's values.
Over the last century, NCCD has been on the forefront of reforms of our systems of juvenile justice, criminal justice, and child welfare. NCCD stands for systems that are humane, fair, and economically sound. No other organization has sustained the same level of commitment to a rational approach to crime control and delinquency prevention.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation has pushed for bold and extraordinary reforms of the juvenile justice and foster care systems. They have shown intense commitment, at times acting almost single-handedly to change the face of those fields.
