There is no central authority or body of laws that govern all juvenile justice systems or juvenile law in general. In contrast, the US Constitution does provide a central authority for the adult criminal justice system. Attempts have been made to provide uniformity to juvenile law. The Uniform Juvenile Court Act of 1968 (UJCA) was one such effort. The UJCA outlined several fundamental rights that adults have in criminal cases and applied them to juvenile proceedings.
