The Arizona Juvenile Justice Commission (AJJC) is the supervisory entity responsible for the state's compliance with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. It serves as the State Council for Interstate Juvenile Supervision as required by ARS § 8-361. Authorized under Executive Order 2023-20, AJJC members work to develop practical initiatives that reduce juvenile delinquency and promote public safety.  

The Commission creates workgroups necessary to facilitate further what is outlined in the body's Executive Order. Each workgroup comprises members, including issue-area experts and community stakeholders. The Commission further develops its work through the following:

• Racial and Ethnic Disparities (R/ED) Workgroup 
• The Racial and Ethnic Disparities (R/ED) Workgroup oversees the state's efforts for reducing disparities in the juvenile justice system and reports these efforts to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) using the 3-Stage reduction model (identification, development of an action plan, and an outcome-based evaluation).
