This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive 51-9, Civil Law for Individuals, and provides the
framework for the disposition of juvenile misconduct cases and the treatment of juvenile offenders. The
purpose of this instruction is to establish responsibilities and procedures for the administrative disposition
of misconduct committed by juveniles on the United States Air Force Academy and to establish the
United States Air Force Academy Juvenile Assistance Council (JAC). The JAC will hear all cases in
which a juvenile is alleged to have engaged in misconduct or cases referred to it by the 10th Air Base
Wing (10 ABW). The JAC will determine the appropriate disposition of the case by weighing the best
interests of the juvenile and the United States Air Force Academy. The action taken will be designed to
attain the primary goal of maintaining good order and discipline on the United States Air Force Academy
and, if possible, to rehabilitate the juvenile offender. This instruction applies to juveniles who engage in
misconduct on the United States Air Force Academy and are dependents of personnel stationed at the
United States Air Force Academy (to include all personnel administratively assigned to 10 ABW) or
dependents of active duty or retired military personnel using the United States Air Force Academy facili-
ties. This instruction also applies to the sponsors of juveniles who engage in misconduct on the United
States Air Force Academy. Refer recommended changes and questions about this publication to the Office
of Primary Responsibility (OPR) using AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication.
