Introduction

    The youth of America do not simply represent our Nation's future. 
They are our Nation's future. However, the serious and violent crime 
rate among juveniles has increased sharply in the past few years. 
Juveniles account for an increasing share of all violent crimes in the 
United States. At the same time, a small portion of juvenile offenders 
account for the bulk of all serious and violent delinquency. 
Simultaneously, the number of juveniles taken into custody has 
increased, as has the number of juveniles waived or transferred to the 
criminal justice system. Admissions to juvenile facilities are at their 
highest levels ever, and an increasing percentage of these facilities 
are operating over capacity. Unfortunately, the already strained 
juvenile justice system does not have adequate fiscal and programmatic 
resources to identify juveniles at risk of becoming serious, violent, 
or chronic delinquents and to provide appropriate prevention services 
or intervene effectively with those juveniles who are already serious, 
violent, or chronic delinquents.

A Comprehensive Strategy

    To reverse national trends in juvenile violence, juvenile 
victimization and family disintegration will require both a change in 
national priorities and an unprecedented commitment by public and 
private agencies, institutions, organizations, and individuals. OJJDP 
has developed a comprehensive strategy to address serious, violent and 
chronic delinquency. The strategy is based on OJJDP's review of 
statistics, research and evaluation and focuses on promising approaches 
in family strengthening, support for core institutions, delinquency 
prevention, intervention, and treatment. Its implementation at the 
State and local levels will require all sectors of the community to 
participate in determining local needs and in formulating and funding 
programs to meet those needs in order to prevent and treat delinquency. 
(A Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile 
Offenders, OJJDP (1993)).
    This year, OJJDP will fund a variety of programs and projects to 
implement the Comprehensive Strategy and foster community planning 
efforts. OJJDP will work with a number of jurisdictions to test 
mechanisms designed to assist communities to plan and implement 
programs that address youth violence and delinquency.
    Communities engaged in comprehensive planning to address the issue 
of serious, violent and chronic juvenile offenders will be supported by 
OJJDP funding, technical assistance, information, and training 
resources. As part of the current program development work on OJJDP's 
Comprehensive Strategy, communities will be furnished a ``how to'' 
manual, providing a blueprint for assessing youth violence problems and 
resources. An inventory of promising and successful program models to 
help address the identified problems will also be provided to 
interested jurisdictions. These resources will be made available to 
cities and communities, including Weed and Seed jurisdictions, to 
assist in the planning and implementation of coordinated efforts to 
deal with youth violence problems. Program development work on OJJDP's 
Comprehensive Strategy will also support the Attorney General's 
national agenda for children by producing an early intervention program 
strategy, focused on families and beginning with children aged 0-3. 
Program models included in the early intervention strategy will seek to 
preserve and strengthen families that need support in providing 
healthy, nurturing environments for their childrens' social 
development. Educare programs that provide both child care help for 
parents and education readiness opportunities will be featured.
    OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy is based on five key principles for 
preventing and reducing chronic, serious and violent juvenile 
delinquency. Each of these principles has as its aim either reducing or 
identifying and controlling the small percentage of juvenile offenders 
who are serious, violent and chronic offenders. These are stated below, 
followed by examples of program activities to be carried out in FY 1994 
that support each of the principles:
     Strengthen families in their role of providing guidance, 
discipline and strong values as their children's first teachers.
    (1) A program of support for children of incarcerated parents.
    (2) A Conference on mental health services and the juvenile justice 
system.
    (3) The permanent families for abused and neglected children 
program.
    (4) Support for regional and local advocacy centers for abused and 
neglected children.
     Support core social institutions, including schools, 
religious institutions, and other local community based organizations, 
to alleviate risk factors for delinquency and help children develop 
their full potential.
    (1) Law-Related Education programs in juvenile justice settings/
innovative approaches in Law-Related Education.
    (2) Youth leadership and violence prevention programs for at-risk 
youth.
    (3) National School Safety Center.
    (4) Technical assistance and training to juvenile courts.
    (5) Congress of National Black Churches--National Anti-Drug Abuse 
Program.
     Promote prevention strategies that reduce the impact of 
negative risk factors and enhance protective factors.
    (1) Training and technical assistance in risk focused prevention to 
be provided to 5,000 community leaders.
    (2) Title V delinquency prevention--$13 million to be awarded to 
States for subgrants to local units of government that have formulated 
prevention plans (a separate program guideline will be issued for Title 
V).
    (3) Children and Firearms.
    (4) Media Violence.
     Intervene immediately when delinquent behavior first 
occurs.
    (1) Boys and Girls Clubs Gang Prevention and Intervention Program 
to intervene with juvenile gang members in the early stages of gang 
involvement.
    (2) Program to promote alternative programs for juvenile female 
offenders.
    (3) Research on the impact of delay in the delivery of juvenile 
court sanctions.
    (4) Enforcement strategies for juvenile impaired driving due to 
drug and alcohol abuse.
     Establish a broad range of graduated sanctions that 
provides both accountability and a continuum of services to respond 
appropriately to the needs of each delinquent offender.
    (1) Models of Effective Court-based Service Delivery to Children 
and their Families.
    (2) Juvenile Restitution and Community Service Training and 
Technical Assistance.
    (3) What Works: An Assessment of Programs for Juvenile Female 
Offenders.
    (4) Boot Camps for Juvenile Offenders--an Intermediate Sanction 
Program for Nonviolent Juvenile Offenders.
    (5) The Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offender Treatment 
Program will provide funds to four jurisdictions to implement a 
continuum of services for serious, violent, and chronic delinquents.
    (6) Intensive Community-Based Aftercare Demonstration, Technical 
Assistance and Evaluation program.

OJJDP is also assisting Denver, Atlanta, Omaha and other Nebraska 
jurisdictions, and the District of Columbia, under a Department 
initiative, ``Pulling America's Communities Together'' (PACT) Program, 
to address violence issues in these jurisdictions, in designing and 
implementing short-term measures to reduce the incidence of violence on 
our streets, in our schools, and in our homes. These measures will be 
integrated with long-term strategies such as those described above to 
address the root causes of serious and violent crime and delinquency.
    OJJDP is also participating in a collaborative effort with the 
Bureau of Justice Assistance in the ``Comprehensive Communities 
Program.'' Under this program, cities or counties faced with high rates 
of drug-related crime and violence will develop a comprehensive 
strategy for crime- and drug-control which requires law enforcement and 
other governmental agencies to work in partnership with the community 
to address these problems in terms of the environment which fosters 
them. Each strategy must include a jurisdiction-wide commitment to 
community policing, coordination among public and private agencies 
(including, social services, public health, etc.), and efforts that 
encourage citizens to take an active role in problem solving.

The Goals

    OJJDP's Fiscal Year 1994 program plan is designed to address three 
goals that reflect OJJDP's commitment to its mission and to 
implementation of the comprehensive strategy.
    OJJDP believes that prevention is the most cost-effective means of 
dealing with juvenile delinquency. The first program plan goal for 
Fiscal Year 1994 is to prevent the initial occurrence of all types of 
juvenile offenses. This will require programs to strengthen and support 
families in their role of providing guidance and discipline and to 
support such core social institutions as schools, churches and 
synagogues, and other community-based organizations to help children 
develop to their maximum potential. OJJDP's prevention approach is 
designed to mobilize communities, through community leaders, to 
identify risk factors for delinquency as well those youth who are at 
risk so that programs can be designed that are responsive to community 
and youth needs and that will deter juveniles from becoming involved in 
law violating conduct.
    The second goal of the Fiscal Year 1994 program plan is to design 
and establish community-based alternatives to detention and confinement 
that are the least restrictive alternatives appropriate to the 
juvenile's needs and protection of community safety and which promote 
the maintenance of ties with family, school and community.
    OJJDP also seeks to establish a broad spectrum of graduated 
sanctions that provide accountability and a continuum of services that 
respond appropriately to the needs of each juvenile offender. 
Therefore, the third program plan goal for Fiscal Year 1994 is to 
promote the development and implementation of juvenile justice policies 
and practices that improve the juvenile justice system while promoting 
law-abiding behavior and ensuring the most effective allocation of 
system resources.

Overview

    OJJDP was established by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 
Prevention Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-415), as amended, to provide a 
comprehensive, coordinated approach to prevent and control juvenile 
crime and improve the juvenile justice system. OJJDP administers a 
State Formula Grants Program in 57 States and territories, funds over 
100 projects through its Special Emphasis and National Institute for 
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Discretionary Grant 
Programs, and is charged with coordinating all Federal activities 
related to juvenile justice and delinquency.
    The OJJDP comprises four divisions. The first two, the Research and 
Program Development and the Training and Technical Assistance 
Divisions, together form the National Institute for Juvenile Justice 
and Delinquency Prevention (NIJJDP). The Institute also includes the 
Information Dissemination and Planning Unit in the Office of the 
Administrator. The State Relations and Assistance Division and the 
Special Emphasis Division are the two remaining OJJDP divisions.
    In addition, OJJDP serves as the staff agency for the Coordinating 
Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, coordinates the 
Concentration of Federal Efforts Program, and administers the Title IV 
Missing and Exploited Children's program, the Title V Prevention 
Incentive Grants Program, and programs under the Victims of Child Abuse 
Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. 13001 et seq.).

1992 JJDP Act Amendments

    The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Amendments of 1992 
expanded the role of OJJDP in Federal efforts to prevent and treat 
juvenile delinquency and improve the juvenile justice system by 
including three new priorities: Strengthening the families of 
delinquents; improving State and local administration of justice and 
services to juveniles; and assisting States and local communities in 
preventing youth from entering the justice system. The Amendments 
encourage parental involvement in treatment and services for juveniles, 
coordination of services and interagency cooperation. Seven new studies 
are mandated. The Comptroller General is conducting five of these 
studies: (1) Juveniles waived, certified, or transferred to adult 
court; (2) admissions of juveniles with behavior disorders to private 
psychiatric hospitals; (3) gender bias in State juvenile justice 
systems; (4) Native American pass-through under the Formula Grants 
Program; and (5) access to counsel in juvenile court proceedings. OJJDP 
is conducting the remaining two: (1) The incidence, nature, and causes 
of violence committed by or against juveniles in urban and rural areas; 
and (2) the extent and characteristics of juvenile hate crimes.
    The JJDP Act Amendments of 1992 also authorize several new grant 
programs to be administered by OJJDP:
     Part E, State Challenge Activities, authorizes grants to 
States participating in the Part B Formula Grants Program that provide 
up to 10 percent of a State's Formula Grants Program allocation for 
each of 10 challenge activities in which the States participate.
     Part F, Treatment for Juvenile Offenders Who are Victims 
of Child Abuse or Neglect, authorizes grants to public and nonprofit 
private organizations for treatment of juvenile offenders who are 
victims of child abuse or neglect, transitional services, and related 
research.
     Part G, Mentoring, authorizes three-year grants to or in 
partnership with local education agencies for mentoring programs 
designed to link at-risk youth with responsible adults to discourage 
youth involvement in criminal and violent activity.
     Part H, Boot Camps, authorizes grants to establish up to 
ten military-style boot camps for delinquent juveniles.
     Title V, Incentive Grants for Local Delinquency Prevention 
Programs, authorizes grants to local governments for a broad range of 
delinquency prevention activities targeting youth who have had contact 
with, or are likely to have contact with, the juvenile justice system.
    In FY 1994, two of the five new programs listed above received an 
appropriation--Part G Mentoring ($4 million) and Title V Incentive 
Grants ($13 million). These programs are not included in this plan, nor 
are programs authorized and funded under the Victims of Child Abuse Act 
of 1990, as amended.

Fiscal Year 1994 Program Planning Activities

    The OJJDP program planning process for Fiscal Year 1994 is 
coordinated with the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice 
Programs (OJP), and the four other Program Bureau components of the 
OJP. The program planning process involves the following steps:
     Internal review of existing programs by OJJDP staff;
     Internal review of proposed programs by OJP Bureaus and 
selected Department of Justice components;
     Review of information and data from OJJDP grantees and 
contractors;
     Review of information contained in State comprehensive 
plans;
     Review of comments made by youth services providers, 
juvenile justice practitioners and researchers;
     Consideration of suggestions made by juvenile justice 
policy makers concerning State and local needs; and
     Consideration of all comments received during the period 
of public comment on the Proposed Comprehensive Plan.

Discretionary Program Activities

Discretionary Grant Continuation Policy

    OJJDP has listed on the following pages continuation projects 
currently funded in whole or in part with Part C and Part D funds and 
eligible for continuation funding in Fiscal Year 1994, either within an 
existing project period or through an extension for an additional 
project period. A grantee's eligibility for continued funding for an 
additional budget period within an existing project period depends on 
the grantee's compliance with funding eligibility requirements and 
achievement of the prior year's objectives.
    Continuation funding consideration for an additional project period 
for previously funded discretionary grant programs will be based upon 
several factors, including:
     The extent to which the project responds to the applicable 
requirements of the JJDP Act;
     Responsiveness to OJJDP and Department of Justice Fiscal 
Year 1994 program priorities;
     Compliance with performance requirements of prior grant 
years;
     Compliance with fiscal and regulatory requirements;
     Compliance with any special conditions of award; and
     Availability of funds (i.e. based on program priority 
determination).
    In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 5665a, section 262 (d)(1)(B), the 
competitive process described in subparagraph (A) of such section shall 
not be required if the Administrator makes a written determination 
waiving the competitive process:
    (1) With respect to programs to be carried out in areas with 
respect to which the President declares under the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) 
that a major disaster or emergency exists; or
    (2) with respect to a particular program described in part C that 
is uniquely qualified.
    OJJDP seeks to focus its assistance on the development and 
implementation of programs with the greatest potential for reducing 
juvenile delinquency and to cultivate partnerships with State and local 
organizations. To that end, OJJDP has set three goals that constitute 
the major elements of a sound policy for juvenile justice and 
delinquency prevention:
     To promote delinquency prevention efforts,
     To foster the use of community-based alternatives to the 
traditional juvenile justice system, and
     To improve the juvenile justice system.

Delinquency Prevention

    A sound policy for juvenile delinquency prevention strives to 
strengthen the most powerful contributing factor to good behavior: A 
productive place for young people in a law-abiding society. Preventive 
measures can operate on a large scale, providing gains in youth 
development while reducing youthful misbehavior. The first goal of 
OJJDP is to identify and promote programs which prevent or preclude 
minor, serious, and violent delinquency from occurring (and which 
prevent the commission of status offenses).

Community-Based Alternatives

    Communities cannot afford to place responsibility for juvenile 
crime entirely on the juvenile justice system. A sound policy for 
combatting juvenile crime makes maximum use of a community's less 
formal, often less expensive, and less alienating responses to youthful 
misbehavior. OJJDP's second goal is to identify and promote community-
based alternatives for each stage of a child's contact with the 
juvenile justice system, emphasizing options which are least 
restrictive and promote or preserve positive ties with the child's 
family, school and community.

Improvement of the Juvenile Justice System

    The limited resources of the juvenile justice system must be 
reserved for the most difficult and intractable problems of juvenile 
crime. A sound policy concentrates the more formal, expensive, and 
restrictive options of the juvenile justice system in two areas:
     Youth behavior which is most abhorrent and least amenable 
to preventive measures and community responses; and
     Problems of youths and their families which exceed 
community resources and require more stringent legal resolution.
    The third goal of OJJDP is to promote improvements in the juvenile 
justice system and facilitate the most effective allocation of system 
resources.

Fiscal Year 1994 Programs

    The following are brief summaries of each of the proposed new and 
continuation programs for Fiscal Year 1994. The specific program 
priorities proposed within each category are subject to change with 
regard to their priority status, estimated amount, sites for 
implementation, and other descriptive data and information based on the 
review and comment process, grantee performance, application quality, 
fund availability, and other factors. OJJDP has a limited amount of 
appropriations available for new programs in Fiscal Year 1994. New 
programs are therefore being proposed with funding levels subject to 
change based on public review and comment. New programs may also be 
added to the plan based on the review and comment process.
    A number of programs contained in this document have been 
identified for funding by Congress with regard to the grantee(s), the 
amount of funds, or both. An asterisk (*) indicates those programs. In 
addition, the 1994 Appropriations Act Conference Report for State, 
Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies identified 10 programs for the 
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to examine and 
provide grants if warranted. Concept papers were requested from the 10 
programs and are currently under review by OJJDP staff. To the extent 
that FY 1994 Part C and D funds are used to fund these programs, those 
funds would reduce the amounts available for funding programs 
identified in this program plan.

Delinquency Prevention

New Programs

    Congress has appropriated $13 million in Fiscal Year 1994, under 
Title V of the JJDP Act, for a new delinquency prevention program. This 
program also supports OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy by reducing the 
onset of delinquency among youths who might otherwise have begun on a 
pathway to serious, violent and chronic delinquency. Moreover, 
``community planning teams'' will be established under this program to 
conduct risk and resource assessments in order to determine what 
delinquency prevention programs are needed for a particular 
jurisdiction. In communities that are planning system responses for 
serious, violent and chronic offenders, the work of these planning 
teams will be coordinated with other system planning.
    The following are some key features of this program:
     Some 5,000 community leaders will be trained in the risk 
and resource assessment process over the next few months.
     Communities will then submit applications for Federal 
funding for local prevention programs that the community leaders and 
planning teams have determined are needed to prevent delinquency, based 
on the community's determination of its needs and priorities. 
Communities must provide a matching contribution and should establish 
partnerships with the private sector, especially corporations and 
foundations.
     These prevention programs will include a number of multi-
disciplinary program approaches incorporated in the Attorney General's 
national agenda for children:

--Job training and employment opportunities,
--Drug abuse education,
--After school programs, and
--Other programs cutting across disciplines and linking schools and 
social service agencies.

    Other delinquency prevention programs are set forth below for which 
communities engaging in comprehensive community planning can apply 
directly to OJJDP for funding. They include projects that initiate or 
expand specific family strengthening efforts. In addition to self-help, 
these include crisis intervention and treatment models. Families that 
will benefit include those that have children in the juvenile justice 
system, including non-English speaking families. Communities wishing to 
help troubled families as a means of preventing delinquency will be 
provided such resources as a publication on Family Strengthening 
Program Models.

Children and Firearms

$150,000
    This is a collaborative effort which will be jointly funded by 
OJJDP, the National Institute of Justice and Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention. Deaths among juveniles by firearms have reached 
an all-time high. Every day in America, 12 youths ages 19 and under are 
killed in gun accidents, suicides and homicides. Many more are wounded. 
In 1989, 2,367 children and teenagers were murdered with guns; 1,380 
committed suicide with guns; and 567 died in unintentional shootings.
    This is a new initiative with the primary goal of preventing and 
reducing the number of illegal guns accessible to juveniles. The 
project would incorporate a program development model consisting of 
four phases: (1) Assessment, (2) model(s) development and related 
policies and procedure development, (3) training and technical 
assistance, and (4) testing and dissemination. Each phase will consist 
of a plan, a final report or products, and a dissemination strategy.
    The program would be designed to prevent youths from utilizing guns 
to settle disputes. A single cooperative agreement would be awarded for 
up to $150,000 in Fiscal Year 1994 to complete phases 1 and 2 
(assessment and model development).

Family Strengthening and Support

$500,000
    Strengthening and supporting families, including non-English 
speaking families, is a priority area in the JJDP Act and a key 
component of a comprehensive approach to delinquency prevention. In 
support of this priority, the Office proposes to provide funding to a 
select number of local jurisdictions (city and county) to initiate or 
expand specific family-strengthening interventions and treatment 
programs for English speaking and non-English speaking families that 
involve the juvenile justice system, schools, and other local entities.
    A major family-strengthening research project funded by OJJDP was 
recently completed. The University of Utah and Pacific Institute for 
Research and Evaluation produced a User's Guide, ``Strengthening 
America's Families: Promising Parenting and Family Strategies for 
Delinquency Prevention,'' and an Executive Summary that reviews both 
the current impact of family characteristics on risk for delinquency 
and the most promising family change interventions. Given the multiple 
variations of intervention strategies, the project recommends the 
organization of family strengthening programs and services according to 
the family's level of functioning and the child's age. The researchers 
identified a representative group of 25 programs as particularly 
promising. Special attention must also be given to cultural issues for 
non-English speaking families.
    In this program, OJJDP would solicit applications from local 
jurisdictions (city and county) which provide a preliminary plan for 
developing comprehensive family-strengthening programs including 
programs for non-English speaking families. OJJDP would support the 
implementation of new or expanded family-strengthening efforts to 
improve parental functioning as part of an overall plan to prevent 
delinquency or intervene with youth who are in the juvenile justice 
system. The project would also support the development of a 
comprehensive plan to target other Federal, State, and local resources 
to fund and operate a range of services to juveniles and their 
families, including self-help programs such as parent-support groups. 
This program would be competitively funded with approximately 5 
applications selected at a funding level of up to $100,000 each year 
for three years.

Media Violence

$125,000
    The National Youth Violence Forum, ``Safeguarding our Youth: 
Violence Prevention for our Nation's Children'' held in Washington, DC, 
July 21 and 22, 1993, recognized that an increasing number of American 
citizens no longer perceive the electronic media as neutral 
entertainment. Participants suggested that the public can change the 
content and impact of negative media messages through audience 
education and networking. As such changes will not occur quickly, long-
term vision and strategies are required. Recommendations included 
support for a major public movement to challenge corporate media to act 
as more responsible citizens in an increasingly violent society. This 
recommendation recognizes the potential of the media, particularly 
television, to prevent delinquency and other at-risk behaviors such as 
delinquency, drug abuse, and truancy and to educate the public on 
successful programs for youth.
    In response to these recommendations, OJJDP would support a program 
which develops consumer-oriented materials that inform parents, 
teachers' groups, youth-serving organizations, youth groups, and 
community organizations about the relationship between electronic media 
violence and aggressive behavior. The purpose of this program would be 
to stimulate advocacy to reduce violence on television and in music and 
other media. The program would also support dissemination of existing 
consumer materials such as those developed by the program ``Turn Off 
The Violence.''

Mental Health in the Juvenile Justice System

$200,000
    This program would implement a two-pronged strategy to address the 
mental health and juvenile justice systems' lack of coordinated and 
adequate mental health treatment for America's at-risk and delinquent 
youth. Juveniles specifically targeted under the two-phased strategy 
proposed are those with mental health problems and impairments, 
including learning disabilities, who are at risk of becoming status or 
delinquent offenders, and alleged and adjudicated status offenders and 
delinquents with undiagnosed or untreated mental health problems, 
including those in residential care or in juvenile detention and 
correctional facilities.
    The first phase would be funded in Fiscal Year 1994 to develop and 
implement a two-day conference for up to 200 attendees to address the 
topics of at-risk juveniles and juveniles with mental health problems 
or learning disabilities in the juvenile justice system. The purpose of 
the conference would be to bring together individuals from multiple 
disciplines to discuss potential solutions to the failure to address 
the mental health needs of at-risk juveniles and those in our juvenile 
justice system in a coordinated and systematic manner. The conference 
would recommend actions that community organizations and local, State, 
and Federal agencies need to take to address this issue. The conference 
would be developed in cooperation with the Centers for Mental Health 
Services and Maternal and Child Health of the Department of Health and 
Human Services and components of other federal agencies, as 
appropriate.
    The second phase, to be considered for funding in Fiscal Year 1995, 
would establish three to six demonstration programs at the State and 
local levels to plan comprehensive, coordinated and collaborative 
approaches to improving mental health services for juveniles.

Children of Incarcerated Parents

$100,000
    This program is designed to provide supportive services to children 
whose parents are incarcerated. These juveniles are at particularly 
high-risk of involvement in delinquent behavior and becoming victims of 
abuse or neglect.
    Up to two awards would be made at a cost not to exceed $50,000 each 
to support organizations and agencies that address the special needs of 
children of incarcerated parents.
    Awards would be competitive, and while no specific program strategy 
is required, issues to be addressed must be specified. Successful 
applicants must demonstrate that they are currently providing, or have 
an integrated plan to provide, special services which address the needs 
of children whose parents are incarcerated, including but not limited 
to, the areas of parental education, housing, physical and mental 
health, family strengthening activities, mentoring, and care-giver 
support.

Law-Related Education in Juvenile Justice Settings*

$440,000
    This Law Related Education (LRE) Program (and the Innovative 
Approaches program that follows) is established pursuant to section 
299(e) of the JJDP Act which provides that 20 percent of the funds 
appropriated for the national law-related education program under 
section 261(a)(6) ``shall be reserved each fiscal year for not less 
than two programs that did not receive funding prior to October 1, 
1992.''
    In 1990, OJJDP began experimenting with LRE for at-risk youths when 
its consortium of grantees implemented the national LRE program in 
schools. Interim assessments of this effort suggest positive effects on 
youths. Administrators and staff of facilities and programs using LRE 
with this target population have been extremely supportive of the 
effort.
    To expand and augment these initial activities, OJJDP funded two 
organizations in Fiscal Year 1993 to provide training and technical 
assistance in law-related education focused on youths in juvenile 
justice settings. Fiscal Year 1993 awards were made to American 
Correctional Association/New York Division for Youth and to the 
Virginia Commonwealth University/Virginia Institute for Law and 
Citizenship Studies for implementation of LRE in juvenile justice 
settings.
    Applications will be solicited for two new projects to be funded 
under the initiative in Fiscal Year 1994. The program's major 
objectives are to increase awareness of LRE in the juvenile justice 
community; develop or adapt and disseminate LRE curricula and lesson 
plans used to train youths under the supervision of the juvenile court; 
provide training and technical assistance to teachers and others in the 
juvenile justice system; increase public awareness of LRE in juvenile 
justice settings; and develop an implementation model for future 
evaluation of this intervention with targeted youths.

Innovative Approaches in Law-Related Education*

$260,000
    The purpose of this initiative is to provide support for programs 
to develop promising, innovative ideas for the delivery of law-related 
education. The program encompasses the following objectives:
     To promote and support innovative research, development, 
demonstration, or training programs in the field of law-related 
education;
     To encourage new methods of focusing law-related education 
on delinquency prevention within or outside the traditional classroom 
setting; and
     To develop knowledge that will lead to new techniques, 
approaches, or methods to deliver law-related education for purposes of 
preventing delinquency.
    Fiscal Year 1993 awards were made to the Boulder County (Colorado) 
Board of County Commissioners and to the Professional Development and 
Training Center at the University of Maryland.
    Applications will be solicited for up to three new projects to be 
funded under this initiative for Fiscal Year 1994 for one year project 
periods.

National Student/Parent Mock Election*

$100,000
    The National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME) is an educational 
exercise in American government and civic responsibility. It invites 
millions of middle and high school youth to participate with their 
parents to cast a ``mock'' vote on the candidates running for Office in 
November, 1994 and on key issues facing the country.
    The program is a law-related education experience that includes a 
curricula that is highly interactive and concludes with the mock 
election itself. The program is administered by a non-profit 
organization which relies on an extensive group of volunteers to 
conduct mock elections throughout the country. The vote on Mock 
Election Night (usually one week prior to Election Day) will be 
televised from a national election headquarters in Washington, D.C. 
(During past mock elections, Cable News Network carried the election 
results ``live.'') The program relies on a number of private and public 
organizations donating facilities, equipment and expertise.

Delinquency Prevention

Continuation Programs

Law-Related Education (LRE)*

$2,700,000
    The Law-Related Education (LRE) National Training and Dissemination 
Program currently involves five national LRE projects and programs 
which operate in 48 States and four jurisdictions.
    The program's purpose is to provide training and materials to State 
and local school jurisdictions to encourage and guide them in 
establishing LRE delinquency prevention programs in K-12 curricula and 
in juvenile justice settings. Grantees will be encouraged to emphasize 
drug abuse prevention programs in primary, middle, and secondary 
schools in urban minority communities. The major components of the 
program are coordination and management, training and technical 
assistance, preliminary assistance to future sites, public information, 
program development, and assessment.
    This program will be implemented by the current grantees, the 
American Bar Association, the Center for Civic Education, the 
Constitutional Rights Foundation, the National Institute for Citizen 
Education in the Law, and the Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity. No 
additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

The Congress of National Black Churches: National Anti-Drug Abuse 
Program

$200,000
    OJJDP proposes the continuation of this organization's national 
public awareness and mobilization strategy to address the problem of 
drug abuse and drug abuse prevention in targeted communities across the 
United States. The goals of the national mobilization strategy are to 
summon, focus, and coordinate the leadership of the black religious 
community in cooperation with the Department of Justice and other 
federal agencies and organizations to help mobilize groups of community 
residents to combat effectively the supply and demand problems of drug 
abuse and drug-related crime activities among adults and juveniles.
    The program would be expanded to address family violence 
intervention issues and target up to 10 additional cities. No 
additional applications would be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Partnership Plan, Phase V (Cities in Schools)

$300,000
    This program is a continuation of a national school dropout 
prevention model developed and implemented by Cities in Schools, Inc. 
(CIS). CIS provides training and technical assistance to States and 
local communities enabling them to adapt and implement the CIS model. 
The model brings social, employment, mental health, drug prevention, 
entrepreneurship and other resources to high-risk youths and their 
families at the school level. Where CIS State organizations are 
established, they will assume primary responsibility for local program 
replication during the ``Partnership Plan, Phase V.''
    This program is jointly funded by OJJDP and the United States 
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Commerce under an 
OJJDP grant. The total award for Fiscal Year 1993 was $1,400,000. This 
project would be implemented by the current grantee, Cities in Schools, 
Inc. No additional applications would be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Targeted Outreach With a Gang Prevention and Intervention Component

$500,000
    This program is designed to enable local Boys and Girls Clubs to 
prevent youths from entering gangs and to intervene with gang members 
in the early stages of gang involvement to divert them away from gangs 
and toward more constructive programs. The National Office of Boys and 
Girls Clubs would provide training and technical assistance to the 81 
existing sites and add 25 new gang prevention and 6 intervention sites. 
The program would be implemented by the current grantee, Boys and Girls 
Clubs of America. No additional applications would be solicited in 
Fiscal Year 1994.

Satellite Prep School Program and Early Elementary School for 
Privatized Public Housing

$600,000
    This is a continuation of a demonstration program, in which OJJDP 
supported the establishment of an early elementary school program in 
Ida B. Wells Public Housing Development in Chicago, Illinois. This 
program is a collaborative effort between OJJDP, the Chicago Housing 
Authority (CHA), and the Westside Preparatory School and Training 
Institute (WSP) to establish a Prep-School on the premises of the Ida 
B. Wells Housing Development for kindergarten to fourth grade children 
living in this public housing development.
    The Wells Prep-School opened with kindergarten and first grade 
students on September 14, 1992. In September 1993 a second grade was 
added. The Prep-School has been established and operates as an early 
intervention educational model based upon the Marva Collins Westside 
Preparatory School educational philosophy, curriculum, and teaching 
techniques. The Westside Preparatory School, a private institution 
located in the Chicago's inner city, has had dramatic success in 
raising the academic achievement level of low-income minority children. 
Fiscal Year 1994 funds will be used to continue the operation and 
management of the school to continue technical assistance for the 
program and to add a third grade. Awards will be made to existing 
grantees. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Teens, Crime, and Community: Teens in Action in the 90s*

$1,000,000
    This continuation program is conducted by the National Crime 
Prevention Council (NCPC) and the National Institute for Citizen 
Education in the Law (NICEL). Teens in Action in the 90s is a special 
application of the Teens, Crime and the Community program, which 
operates on two premises: (1) Teens are disproportionately victims of 
crimes, and (2) teens are resources that can contribute to improving 
their schools and communities through a broad array of activities.
    Under the Fiscal Year 1994 award, NCPC and NICEL will work through 
the National Teens, Crime, and the Community Program Center to harness 
the energies of young people toward constructive activities and to 
reduce crime and violence. The Program Center will be enlarged to serve 
as a formal clearinghouse for information and materials dissemination 
and to provide technical assistance and training to communities in 
establishing the program. With the increase in resources, NCPC will 
significantly expand the number of communities participating in this 
program.
    This program will be implemented by the current grantees. No 
additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Race Against Drugs

$115,000
    Race Against Drugs (RAD) is a unique drug awareness, education and 
prevention campaign designed to help young people understand the 
dangers of drugs and live a non-impaired lifestyle. With the help and 
assistance from 21 motorsports organizations and the cooperation of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Child Safety Council it 
has become a fun and exciting new addition to drug abuse prevention 
programs. RAD now includes national drug awareness and prevention 
activities at schools, malls and motorsports events, posters, 21 TV 
public service announcements, signage on T-Shirts, hats, decals, etc., 
and specialized programs like the ``Adopt-a-School Essay and 
Scholarship'' programs: and 6-8 grades school Be A Winner Action Book, 
A RAD Adult Guide and A RAD Coloring Book for K-4 grades. This program 
will be jointly funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) 
($40,000) and OJJDP ($75,000) and will be implemented by the current 
grantee, National Child Safety Council. No additional applications will 
be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Missing Children

Prevention, Early Intervention, and Mediation Project for Missing and 
Exploited Children

$75,000
    The purpose of this project, administered by Our Town Family Center 
of Tucson, Arizona, is to enhance the range of services to missing, 
exploited, and abused children and their families. These services 
include a school-based prevention program and home-based crisis 
intervention services. A new family mediation and dispute resolution 
program seeks to reduce the negative impact of high-conflict divorce 
and separation on children. The project will provide training workshops 
for local juvenile justice and school personnel. No additional 
applications will be solicited during Fiscal Year 1994.

Missing and Exploited Children Prevention and Services

$75,000
    The purpose of this project, administered by Counseling Services of 
Addison County, Middlebury, Vermont, is to continue to expand and 
develop services to assist missing and exploited youth and their 
families in Addison County. Project activities include community 
education programs on child safety issues, counseling, outreach and 
safe shelter services for runaway and thrownaway youths, training for 
law enforcement officers, and crisis counseling for families of missing 
children. No additional applications will be solicited during Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Paul and Lisa Prevention and Intervention Efforts: Expansion and 
Improvement of Non-Profit Organization Projects

$75,000
    This project expands Paul & Lisa's school-based exploitation 
prevention program in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Project 
activities include helping children develop ways to handle and 
discourage sexual advances, abduction, and exploitation by adults, and 
providing school personnel and service providers with strategies to 
prevent these problems and assist missing and exploited children. 
Training and technical assistance to organizations and coalitions in 
selected cities will be provided. No additional applications will be 
solicited during Fiscal Year 1994.

Project Nino Seguro Services--Addressing Missing and Exploited Children

$45,258
    This project, administered by South Bay Community Services of Chula 
Vista, California, serves English-speaking and Spanish-speaking 
communities by providing education, information, and services to 
parents, children, and the community. The project is designed to reduce 
the occurrence of missing, abducted and exploited children. Project 
Nino Seguro provides direct counseling to individuals, families, and 
peer groups. No additional applications will be solicited during Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Community-Based Alternatives

New Programs

    Communities attempting to refocus their juvenile justice system 
resources on serious, violent and chronic juvenile offenders will be 
assisted in developing and implementing comprehensive programs for 
juvenile offenders that combine accountability with treatment and 
rehabilitation services. These sites will be planning and implementing 
as many elements of OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy as resources permit. 
If successful, they will serve as models for other jurisdictions.
    Communities will also be assisted in developing a continuum of 
community-based care for offenders who do not present a threat to the 
public safety. For example, a program to provide a continuum of 
alternatives for females in the juvenile justice system is proposed.
    In addition, a field-initiated research program will provide 
support to address issues related to the Comprehensive Strategy, 
including mental health issues, family preservation, and waiver and 
transfer to the criminal justice system.

Program To Promote Alternative Programs for Juvenile Female Offenders

$400,000
    Historically, the unique service needs of females have not been 
given adequate attention in the juvenile justice system. Not only do 
females represent a smaller percentage of the delinquent population, 
when females act out their problems, they more often than boys become 
self-destructive, run away, become involved in prostitution, or turn to 
unhealthy, exploitative, or abusive environments for attention and 
shelter. Females may be further victimized when they seek help or come 
under the juvenile justice system because there are so few resources 
available to them. Since 1974, the JJDP Act has called for alternatives 
to confinement for females who have been placed in secure residential 
programs for less serious offenses than males or confined for longer 
periods than males.
    Today, however, increasing numbers of females live on the streets 
or in unhealthy, exploitative, or abusive environments. Studies 
document the inequities of services between males and females and the 
perpetuation of a cycle of generational abuse, teen pregnancy, 
delinquency, and emotional dysfunction.
    This initiative would fund four to six demonstration projects to 
serve the needs of female status offenders, delinquents, dependents, 
dropouts, and pregnant or teenage mothers. Each selected site must 
develop a comprehensive continuum of services designed to meet the 
unique needs of at-risk female juveniles. The programs must include 
such specific components as training and education, life management and 
personal growth skills, health and counseling, parenting skills, job 
training skills, and community service. The resources provided for the 
first year would be used to support planning, initial development and 
implementation of the program.
    This program would be coordinated with the Women's Bureau of the 
Department of Labor and the Psychology Services and Special Needs 
Offender Division of the Bureau of Prisons.
    This program would be competitively funded with the four to six 
sites funded at a level of up to $100,000 each during Fiscal Year 1994.

Serious, Violent and Chronic Juvenile Offender Treatment Program

$2,000,000
    In Fiscal Year 1993, under a competitive announcement OJJDP funded 
two jurisdictions (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Juvenile Court and 
the Department of Human Services in Washington, DC) to develop a plan 
for a systematic strategy for juvenile offenders that combines 
accountability and sanctions with increasingly intensive community-
based intervention, treatment, and rehabilitation services as the 
seriousness of the offense increases or warrants. The plan's basic 
elements are to (1) assess the existing continuum of secure and 
nonsecure intervention, treatment, and rehabilitation services in each 
jurisdiction; (2) define the juvenile offender population; (3) develop 
and implement a programmatic strategy; (4) develop and implement an 
evaluative design; (5) integrate private nonprofit community-based 
organizations into juvenile offender services; (6) incorporate an 
aftercare program as a formal component of all residential placements; 
(7) develop a resource plan to enlist the financial and technical 
support of other Federal, State, and local agencies, private 
foundations, or other funding sources; and (8) develop a victim 
assistance component utilizing local organizations.
    In Fiscal Year 1994, funds will be awarded noncompetitively to 
support implementation of the plan in the initial two sites, if they 
successfully develop action plans. In addition, funds will be 
competitively awarded to two new sites to plan and implement a 
comprehensive treatment program. All grants would be for up to $500,000 
each.

Field-Initiated Research Program

$300,000
    The Field-Initiated Research Program seeks to develop promising and 
innovative research programs relevant to the mission of OJJDP. This 
program offers an opportunity for support for research ideas generated 
in the field rather than by OJJDP. Priority topics would include mental 
health issues, gender bias, rural delinquency, family preservation, due 
process, waiver and transfer to the criminal justice system, violent 
youth gangs, disproportionate minority representation, institutional 
crowding, and other issues directly related to OJJDP's ``A 
Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile 
Offenders.''
    OJJDP would provide up to three awards of up to $100,000 each under 
this program.

Community-Based Alternatives

Continuation Programs

Permanent Families for Abused and Neglected Children*

$225,000
    This is a national project to prevent unnecessary foster care 
placement of abused and neglected children, to reunify the families of 
children in care, and to ensure permanent adoptive homes when 
reunification is impossible. The purpose of this project is to ensure 
that foster care is used only as a last resort and as a temporary 
solution. Accordingly, the project is designed to ensure that 
government's responsibility to children in foster care is duly 
acknowledged by the appropriate disciplines. Project activities include 
national training programs for judges, social service personnel, 
citizen volunteers, and others under the Reasonable Efforts Provision 
of 42 U.S.C. 671(a)(15); training in selected lead States; and 
development of a model guide to risk assessment.
    The program will be implemented by the current grantee, the 
National Council of Family and Juvenile Court Judges. No additional 
applications will be solicited during Fiscal Year 1994.

National Network of Children's Advocacy Centers*

$500,000
    This program will continue to support the National Network of 
Children's Advocacy Centers through the development and implementation 
of coordinated training, technical assistance, and information sharing 
programs. The network links local Children's Advocacy Center programs 
whose purpose is to provide multi-disciplinary coordination in the 
investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases, limited seed money, 
training, and technical assistance. National leaders in this effort are 
the National Children's Advocacy Center in Huntsville, Alabama; the 
University of Oklahoma's Justice Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the 
National Children's Advocacy Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, two of which 
will be under contract to provide training and technical assistance. A 
continuation application will be solicited from one organization in the 
National Network. No other applications will be solicited during Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Professional Development for Youth Workers

$200,000
    The primary purpose of this program is to promote professional 
development of youth service and juvenile justice system providers 
through formal training. The program will include an inventory of 
existing training programs and their effectiveness, a needs 
assessment training survey, the development of curricula for several 
program settings, the design of a dissemination strategy, and the 
creation of an implementation plan for the second half of a two-year 
program.
    Initially funded in Fiscal Year 1992, the Academy for Educational 
Development, Inc. will continue this three year program in Fiscal Year 
1994. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

School Safety Center

$250,000
    The purpose of this collaborative program between OJJDP and the 
Department of Education is to provide training and technical assistance 
regarding school safety to elementary and secondary schools, and to 
identify methods to diminish crime, violence, and illegal drug use in 
schools and on campuses, with special emphasis on gang-related crime. 
The National School Safety Center (NSSC) maintains a library and 
clearinghouse with specialized information, provides research on school 
safety issues, and develops publications and training programs. These 
funds would focus on prevention of drug abuse and violence in schools 
and establish State personnel trained in school safety to provide 
technical assistance to localities.
    The Department of Education contributed to the support of this 
program with a transfer of $1 million of Fiscal Year 1993 funds for 
expenditure in Fiscal Years 1993-1994. This program would be 
implemented by the current grantee, the National School Safety Center 
at Pepperdine University. No additional applications would be solicited 
in Fiscal Year 1994.

Juvenile Restitution

$250,000
    OJJDP will continue to support the juvenile restitution training 
and technical assistance program in Fiscal Year 1993. The project 
design is based on practitioner recommendations for current needs in 
the field. OJJDP initiated a survey on how best to expand and 
institutionalize restitution as a viable juvenile justice disposition. 
In addition to the survey, a working group was convened to help map out 
the course of OJJDP's support for optimum development of the components 
of restitution. These components will include community service, victim 
reparation, victim-offender mediation, offender employment and 
supervision, employment development, and potential program elements 
designed to establish restitution as an important alternative in 
improving the juvenile justice system. This project is guided by the 
need to provide a balance of community protection, offender competency 
development and accountability in the provision of community-based 
sanctions.
    The Division of Applied Research of Florida Atlantic University was 
competitively selected in Fiscal Year 1992 to implement this three year 
project. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Insular Area Support *

$403,000
    The purpose of this program is to provide supplemental financial 
support to the Virgin Islands of the United States, Guam, American 
Samoa, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Palau), and the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. These funds are available 
to address the special needs and problems of juvenile delinquency in 
the insular areas, as specified by section 261(e) of the JJDP Act, 42 
U.S.C. 5665(e).

OJJDP Technical Assistance Support Contract: Juvenile Justice Resource 
Center

$650,000
    The purpose of this contract is to provide technical assistance and 
support to OJJDP, the National Institute for Juvenile Justice and 
Delinquency Prevention, OJJDP grantees, and the Coordinating Council on 
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the areas of program 
development, evaluation, training, and research. The program will be 
completed during FY 1994.

Native American Alternative Community-Based Program

$600,000
    This program is designed as a collaborative interagency effort 
between OJJDP and other public and private organizations concerned 
about juvenile delinquency among Native Americans. Its purpose is to 
develop community-based alternative programs for Native American youths 
adjudicated delinquent and to develop a re-entry program for Native 
American delinquents returning from institutional placements. A multi-
component design has been developed in the four project sites. 
Additional training and technical assistance will be provided to 
integrate the critical elements of the OJJDP Intensive Supervision and 
Community-Based Aftercare programs with cultural elements traditionally 
used by Native Americans to control and rehabilitate offending youths.
    The project sites, initially funded in Fiscal Year 1992, are the 
Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, the Navajo Nation, the Gila River 
Indian Community and the Pueblo of Jemez. A training and technical 
assistance provider, The National Indian Justice Center, provides the 
sites with training and technical assistance. No additional 
applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Missing Children

Community Action for the Prevention of Missing and Exploited Children

$125,000
    This project enables the District of Columbia's Center for Child 
Protection and Family Support to expand its direct service activities 
to high-risk inner city youths, specifically teenage parents, through 
the development of a specialized education component designed to 
educate families on child safety, enhance their understanding of 
potential abduction and exploitation, and improve the systematic 
response to dealing with the issues of missing and exploited children. 
No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Provide Services To Recovered Missing Children and Their Families

$30,000
    The purpose of this project is to support the activities of Find 
the Children of Los Angeles, California, as coordinator of a local 
multi-agency task force activated upon the recovery of a child. Find 
the Children coordinates interagency communication to evaluate a 
child's or family's needs at the time of recovery, assists them in 
obtaining access to available services, collects data, manages relevant 
treatment-intervention plans, and issues reports in conjunction with 
the Interagency Council of Child Abuse and Neglect. No additional 
applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Improvement of the Juvenile Justice System

New Programs

    The new programs funded under this objective support the 
Comprehensive Strategy. The four new violence studies will provide 
valuable information regarding community violence patterns, with a 
particular focus on homicides, and identify strategic law enforcement 
responses. Child-centered community policing will be furthered, under 
joint support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, in New Haven, 
Connecticut. The city's exemplary program will serve as a host site for 
training other jurisdictions. In another effort, promising program 
models for prevention, intervention, and treatment of female juvenile 
offenders will be identified and distributed to jurisdictions across 
the country. Other projects will focus on detention and corrections, 
helping the juvenile justice system refocus resources on the most 
serious, violent, and chronic offenders while improving conditions of 
confinement.
    Finally, a major effort under this objective will be focused on 
community interventions with violent youth gangs. Additional funds 
appropriated this year for Part D of the JJDP Act will be used to 
expand the Office's previous work in this area into an Integrated Gang 
Program to include demonstration programs and evaluation, research, 
training, technical assistance, and information dissemination. Many 
cities experiencing gang problems will benefit directly from 
information and technical assistance resource to address gang violence.

Violence Studies*

$1,000,000
    The 1992 Amendments to the JJDP Act require OJJDP to conduct a 
study on violence in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Los Angeles, California; 
Washington, DC; and one rural area. Building on the results of OJJDP's 
Program of Research on Causes and Correlates, the study will address 
the incidence of violence committed by or against juveniles in urban 
and rural areas of the United States. In Fiscal Year 1993 OJJDP 
initiated the study by supporting its planning phase. The study design, 
to be completed by the end of calendar 1993, will be detailed in the 
final OJJDP program plan for Fiscal Year 1994. It is anticipated that 
awards will be made to conduct studies in each of the four designated 
sites.

Child-Centered Community-Oriented Policing

$300,000
    In Fiscal Year 1993, OJJDP provided support to the New Haven, 
Connecticut, Police Department and the Yale University Child 
Development Center to document a child-centered community-oriented 
policing model, the first phase of which is being implemented in New 
Haven. The basic elements of the model are a ten-week training course 
in child development for all new police officers and child development 
fellowships for all community-based sergeants who direct neighborhood 
police teams. Fellowships provide four to six hours of training a week 
over a three-month period at the Child Study Center; 24 hour 
consultation services from a clinical professional and a police 
supervisor to patrol officers to assist children in violent situations; 
weekly case conferences with police officers, educators, and child 
study center staff; open police stations located in neighborhoods 
available to residents, used for purposes other than processing 
arrestees; community liaison; and neighborhood foot patrols.
    For Fiscal Year 1994, Community Policing funds transferred from the 
Bureau of Justice Assistance would support a technical assistance and 
training grant to support the New Haven and Yale partnership in serving 
as a host site to jurisdictions interested in replicating the essential 
elements of the model. Participating jurisdictions must either have an 
established community-oriented policing program which lends itself to 
replicating the child-centered elements or have strategic plans for 
implementing a community-oriented policing model, and propose to 
replicate the model's essential elements.
    Additionally, eligible jurisdictions must have the support of the 
mayor, or chief executive, and must have as co-applicant the human 
services agency responsible for providing social, medical, or 
psychological services to families and children in the jurisdiction. 
Jurisdictions selected will send a team of the city's key decision 
makers (mayor, police chief, director of human services agency) to New 
Haven for intensive orientation, followed by an extended visit from key 
staff of the agencies responsible for implementing the program. On-site 
technical assistance will be available from New Haven during 
implementation.
    The program is expected to reduce the disproportionate 
incarceration of minority youths and the number of youths referred to 
detention and jails by training patrol officers to support prevention 
activities and to intervene positively with youths. Jurisdictions 
interested in participating in this program would coordinate with Yale/
New Haven to apply for consideration. Details would be provided in the 
final program plan. No additional applications would be solicited in 
Fiscal Year 1994.

What Works: Programs for Juvenile Female Offenders

$100,000
    This project would include both an assessment of promising programs 
providing prevention and treatment services for juvenile females and a 
national symposium of researchers and practitioners. Because female 
status offenders are detained at a much higher rate than males, this 
project would also examine alternatives to detention. The assessment 
and symposium would be coordinated with States who, under the OJJDP 
Formula Grants Program and the Government Accounting Office, are 
examining gender-bias and gender specific services in the juvenile 
justice system. The conference papers and proceedings will identify 
critical issues related to prevention, intervention, and treatment 
alternatives for female juvenile offenders. This would be a one-year 
project culminating in a report on promising approaches. One 
cooperative agreement application from public and nonprofit private 
agencies would be funded in an amount up to $100,000.

Training for Line Staff in Juvenile Corrections and Detention

$250,000
    OJJDP proposes to support a multi-year training program for line 
staff of juvenile corrections and detention facilities. The training 
would convey that the mission of juvenile justice is to create a 
positive environment that encompasses education, social services, 
mental and physical health, and corrections. Training curricula would 
be designed or developed from existing resources that are timely, 
current, and meet the needs of the populations served in these 
facilities. For example, training could be offered in risk assessment, 
a range of treatment modalities, behavior management, safety and health 
issues, peer mediation, and conflict resolution.
    A certification program would be developed to facilitate 
development of progressive skills. Special attention would be devoted 
to motivation in relation to institutional culture. The grantee chosen 
to implement the program would establish a limited technical assistance 
capability to complement this program. Practitioner-oriented 
organizations are encouraged to submit joint applications. One 
application would be funded in the amount of up to $250,000.

Integrated Gang Program

$2,000,000
    OJJDP is developing an integrated program design to implement the 
Part D Gang-Free Schools and Communities; Community-Based Gang 
Intervention Program established under the 1992 Amendments to the JJDP 
Act. Part D contains two Subparts: (1) Gang-free schools and 
communities, and (2) Community-based Gang Intervention. OJJDP's 
integrated program would include demonstration projects (including 
program evaluations), research projects, information dissemination 
activities, training programs, and technical assistance. The overall 
program would be designed to implement the gang component of OJJDP's 
``A Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile 
Offenders.'' Individual program elements and projects would be detailed 
in the final OJJDP program plan for Fiscal Year 1994.

Marketing the Conditions of Confinement Study

$125,000
    The recently completed Abt Associates report on the Conditions of 
Confinement study, which focused primarily on standards conformity, 
provided a preliminary analysis of data collected under this research. 
There are numerous substantive areas that have not yet been explored. 
The keen interest of the field in the results of this first report 
indicates the need to provide support to further analyze the data base, 
particularly data from site visits and interviews with facility staff, 
youths, and administrators; prepare practitioner-friendly reports; 
respond to ad hoc requests for special data analyses; and make 
specialized presentations to a variety of audiences who have an 
interest in improving conditions of confinement.
    Further analysis and dissemination of this report will provide 
support to the National Consortium formed to foster the implementation 
of the study recommendations. A continuation grant would be awarded to 
Abt Associates. No additional applications would be solicited in Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Conditions of Confinement Follow Up--Performance Standards

$250,000
    One of the major findings of the Abt Associates ``Conditions of 
Juvenile Confinement'' study is that existing correctional standards 
are procedural in nature and do not, even if complied with, reflect 
positively on conditions of confinement in the institutions that house 
our nation's troubled youths.
    A group of corrections and detention administrators who met in 
Austin, Texas, in the spring of 1993, concluded that performance-based 
standards must be developed if the field is to move toward improved 
services for youths and greater accountability for performance in 
service areas. In developing these standards, drafters will be required 
to confer and agree on their goals, and to define indicators that 
measure goal attainment.
    The grantee selected would work with representatives from a broad-
based consortium of corrections and detention practitioners and youth 
advocacy professionals in education, health, mental health, and social 
services to develop, on a priority basis, measurable performance 
standards. In the second year, the grantee would develop a curriculum 
and technical assistance package with a strategy for marketing these 
standards. This curriculum would be field-tested and implemented in a 
selected number of sites in the third year. If funding levels permit a 
companion task in the second year would be the development and testing 
of a curriculum and technical assistance package for health care 
performance standards currently being developed by the National 
Commission on Correctional Health Care.
    The standards developed under this initiative would be practitioner 
driven and enhance existing nationally recognized standards for 
juvenile correction and detention facilities. The standards should 
cover system, staff, and youth performance as well as the quality of 
life for residents of these facilities.
    OJJDP would solicit a multi-year grant for the development of 
performance-based standards for juvenile corrections and detention.

Training and Technical Support for State and Local Jurisdictional Teams 
To Focus on Juvenile Corrections and Detention Overcrowding

$125,000
    The Conditions of Confinement Study identified overcrowding as the 
most urgent problem facing juvenile corrections and detention 
facilities. Overcrowding in juvenile facilities is a function of 
decisions and policies made at the State, county, and city levels. The 
trend in a number of jurisdictions toward the inappropriate use of 
detention and commitment to State facilities has been reversed when key 
decision makers, such as the chief judge, chief of police, director of 
the local detention facility, head of the State juvenile correctional 
agency, and others who affect the flow of juveniles through the system, 
agree to make decisions collaboratively and to modify practices and 
policies. In some instances, modification has occurred in response to 
court orders. Compliance with court orders is improved with the support 
of enhanced interagency communication and planning among those agencies 
affecting flow.
    To address the problems of overcrowded facilities, OJJDP plans to 
support an initiative focused on implementing the recommendations of 
the Abt study regarding overcrowding. This project would involve 
developing training and technical assistance materials for use by State 
and local jurisdictional teams. Assistance would be provided in 
planning and problem solving strategies to reduce or prevent 
overcrowding in juvenile facilities. Follow-up technical assistance 
would also be provided to assist in carrying out plans and strategies 
developed under the training phase.
    It is anticipated that one competitive grant or cooperative 
agreement in the amount of $125,000 would be awarded in FY 1994.

Juvenile Statistics Improvement

$275,000
    OJJDP proposes to fund a project to improve juvenile custody 
statistics and further the development of an integrated and 
comprehensive program of national juvenile justice statistics. The 
initial emphases of this program will focus on: (1) Juvenile custody 
statistics, and (2) information on juveniles waived or transferred to 
criminal court. Custody was chosen for improvement because custody 
statistics are needed to monitor the custody rates and characteristics 
of offenders who penetrate the juvenile justice system and the types of 
intervention received.
    OJJDP recently convened a Juvenile Custody Statistics Symposium of 
juvenile justice practitioners, data collectors, providers, and users 
to help OJJDP reexamine data needs regarding the juvenile custody 
population and the custody function. The participants' feedback on the 
need for timely, useful and accurate information is reflected in this 
plan. The Symposium produced consensus on a number of short-term and 
long-term needs. In the immediate future, OJJDP will take steps to 
rebuild the data collection infrastructure of custody and waiver/
transfer statistics. The design of work for the waiver and transfer 
data collection will be informed by the results of the General 
Accounting Office study of juvenile waiver to criminal court.
    The Symposium also produced general consensus regarding data 
collection priorities and requirements. Within this framework, OJJDP is 
weighing specific redesign options for producing custody statistics. To 
this end, OJJDP proposes to pilot test new data collection methods to 
examine their feasibility and utility among the tests under 
consideration are the following:
     The design of a new effort to collect individual level 
data on juveniles in facilities. This new effort will capture detailed 
demographic and offense data.
     A redesign of facility-based information collections. The 
anticipated data collections would revitalize the present collection 
efforts and build on the success of the Conditions and Confinement 
study.
     A new detention data collection effort to monitor the use 
of detention and to serve as a barometer of activity in the juvenile 
justice system.
    In order to collect data on juveniles tried in criminal court, 
OJJDP will pretest data collection instruments for possible use in a 
supplemental award to the BJS National Prosecutor's Survey.
    These pilot tests would explore new data collection technologies 
(such as computer aided surveys, telephone data entry, and electronic 
submission of data).
    OJJDP anticipates a one-year award of $275,000 to a qualified 
organization to carry out the necessary technical support tasks 
associated with statistical redesign efforts.

Intensive Community-Based Aftercare Demonstration, Technical 
Assistance, and Evaluation Program

$750,000
    This initiative is designed to support the implementation, delivery 
of technical assistance, and the evaluation of a selected number of 
jurisdictions currently participating in an OJJDP-sponsored pilot 
program.
    Eight pilot test sites (NC, NJ, TX, CO, NV, PA, VA, MI) will 
compete for the opportunity to participate in a national independent 
evaluation. Four sites will be selected and will be awarded up to 
$100,000 each to partially support the program design demonstration. An 
estimated $140,000 will be awarded to an independent evaluation 
contractor to complete initial evaluation design work and document the 
process. Funding from Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996 will be utilized to 
support an impact evaluation.
    The Johns Hopkins University will receive a supplemental award of 
up to $210,000 to continue to provide technical assistance and training 
to all sites making progress towards implementation. The project period 
for this initiative will be 36 months. Awards will be made in 12 
monthly increments.

National Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Training and 
Technical Assistance Center

$300,000
    Sections 244, 245, and 246 of the JJDP Act of 1974, as amended, 
authorize support of training and technical assistance programs for 
juvenile justice and related personnel. These services have been 
provided through grants, cooperative agreements, and interagency 
agreements using a variety of training formats and materials. OJJDP 
proposes to establish comprehensive and uniform training coverage of 
the field in order to increase the effectiveness of OJJDP-supported 
training and technical assistance. To achieve this, the Office would 
issue a solicitation for a contract to establish a Training and 
Technical Assistance Center to provide the following services and 
activities to the juvenile justice field:
     A centralized access point for information about training 
and technical assistance;
     Development of specialized training teams to assist State 
and local programs, respond to specialized issues or needs, and provide 
training and certification of trainers;
     Development and distribution of training and technical 
assistance materials;
     Support for National and regional training events;
     Assessment and evaluation of training programs;
     Information on training models and specific issues 
affecting training of staff working with juveniles; and
     Provide opportunities for networking and exchanging 
information and ideas to create learning opportunities for youth 
development professionals.
    The Center would provide the following benefits to support OJJDP 
training and technical assistance responsibilities:
     Support coordination of all OJJDP training and technical 
assistance projects;
     Respond immediately to emerging training needs through 
development and delivery of specialized training and technical 
assistance;
     Support an agency managed system for effective monitoring 
of contracted services, efficient use of services, and prevention of 
overlap of services;
     Coordinate data regarding participants and curricula 
received from OJJDP-funded grantees and contractors and centralize the 
information gathered;
     Facilitate the exchange of information about training 
technologies and provide access to information resources.
    In the first year, a catalogue of OJJDP's training activities would 
be published, including course descriptions, training organizations, 
and schedules. Other products of the Center during the first year would 
include the design and testing of a trainers curriculum, production of 
training manuals and training jurisdictional teams to respond to 
critical issues and problems. A competitive multi-year contract in the 
initial amount of $300,000 would be awarded in Fiscal Year 1994.

Telecommunications Assistance

$200,000
    Developments in information technology and distance training can 
expand and enhance the information dissemination, training and 
technical assistance activities of OJJDP programs. These technologies 
can be employed to enhance present capabilities for existing grantees 
by increasing access of persons in the juvenile justice system to 
information and training, reducing travel costs to conferences, and 
saving time used to attend meetings requiring one or more nights away 
from one's home or office.
    OJJDP proposes to award a cooperative agreement to a qualified 
organization to provide program support, technical assistance and 
necessary equipment for a variety of information technologies, 
including audio-graphics, satellite teleconferences, and fiber-optic 
teleconferences. OJJDP would select from among its grantees to provide 
the curricula or program information to be presented via 
telecommunications technologies. A secondary purpose of the grant 
program would be to support OJJDP in marketing the technology for 
additional users. A cooperative agreement in the amount of $200,000 
would be awarded in Fiscal Year 1994.

Interventions To Reduce Disproportionate Minority Confinement in Secure 
Detention and Correctional Facilities (The Deborah Ann Wysinger 
Memorial Program)

$600,000
    National data and studies have demonstrated that minority offenders 
are overrepresented in secure facilities across the county. In response 
to this problem, OJJDP issued regulations in 1989 requiring States 
participating in the Formula Grants Program to determine the existence 
of `disproportionate minority confinement and to design strategies to 
reduce the problem where it exists. As of February 1993, 42 States had 
completed the required data analyses, with all but one determining that 
minority juveniles were overrepresented in secure facilities. Analysis 
of the data provided by the States further indicates that minority 
youths are disproportionately represented at several points in the 
juvenile justice system.
    This competitive Special Emphasis program would provide funds to 
States to demonstrate effective strategies designed to eliminate the 
overrepresentation of minority juveniles in secure detention or 
correctional facilities, adult jails and lockups, and other secure 
institutional facilities. Activities appropriate for funding under this 
initiative would include such programs as:
     Training and education programs for law enforcement and 
juvenile justice practitioners;
     Diversion programs for minority youths who come in contact 
with the juvenile justice system;
     Prevention programs in communities with high numbers of 
minority residents;
     Programs to increase the capacity of community-based 
organizations to provide alternatives to detention for minority youths; 
and
     Aftercare programs designed to assist minority youths 
returning to their communities from secure institutions.
    Grants would be available to State Agencies as defined in section 
223(a)(1) of the JJDP Act in amounts ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 
for the implementation and evaluation of interventions to reduce 
disproportionate minority confinement. In addition to the general 
selection criteria applied to all OJJDP competitive application 
solicitations, the Office will take into consideration the 
jurisdiction's development of multiple strategies to address the 
problem and need based on high minority overrepresentation indices as 
identified in the Phase I data collection analysis. Programs will be 
required to coordinate with OJJDP's program evaluation contractor.

Non-Violent Dispute Resolution

$250,000
    The Non-Violent Dispute Resolution program is a joint effort of 
OJJDP and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to test a variety of 
proposed strategies to train teenage students to constructively manage 
anger, resolve conflict(s), learn the importance of mutual respect, and 
be responsible for their actions. Up to three organizations and/or 
agencies will be identified to implement program models. Qualified 
applicants must have demonstrated successful work in programs which 
include collaborative efforts among educators, counselors, criminal 
justice representatives, and parents/caretakers. Applications will be 
solicited by BJA on a competitive basis.

Models of Effective Court Based Service Delivery to Children and Their 
Families

$250,000
    The expanding role of State courts in today's complex society is 
particularly evident in the struggle to address the problems and needs 
of children and families. Courts often have the charge of monitoring 
and enforcing treatments recommended by human services professionals, 
sanctions sought by law enforcement agencies, and mandates imposed by 
Federal and State legislation. In many instances, courts are the last 
resort for dysfunctional families. Because of these trends, courts have 
become, often by default, service coordinators, attempting to match the 
needs of individuals to services available in the community. Courts are 
undertaking the role of service provider in a vacuum of information of 
what works and why.
    This program would develop and demonstrate effective models for the 
acquisition, delineation and provision of social services through court 
auspices. It would examine the nature and extent of the services 
provided by courts; at what points in the process the services are 
provided; and, the extent of the coordination of the services across 
individuals, cases, and service providers. The effectiveness of the 
models would be evaluated based on their impact on court operations 
(e.g., the resources needed to implement various models) and the 
quality of the services provided to clients. This program builds on the 
results of the recent National Symposium on Courts, Children, and 
Families conducted by the National Center for State Courts in 
cooperation with the Conference of State Court Administrators. OJJDP 
would participate in and provide funding for this program through the 
Bureau of Justice Assistance under a cooperative agreement with the 
National Center for State Courts. No additional applications would be 
solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Delinquency Prevention Training and Technical Assistance

$560,000
    The purpose of this contract is to provide nationwide training and 
technical assistance (TA) to local jurisdictions in developing and 
implementing comprehensive community-wide risk-focused delinquency 
prevention strategies under title V, section 505, of the JJDPA. The 
specific training and TA objectives are to: Provide communities with a 
full understanding of the risk-focused delinquency prevention approach; 
provide a mechanism for the key leadership of a community to develop 
consensus on an overall strategy; provide a strategy for involving the 
entire community in delinquency prevention planning; provide a process 
for communities to conduct a risk and resource assessment; provide 
communities with a strategy for developing an action plan based on the 
results of the risk and resource assessment; and provide communities 
with a strategy to implement their action plan.
    The training will be provided in cooperation with the state 
agencies that administer the Formula Grants program. A sole source 
contract has been awarded to Developmental Research and Programs, Inc. 
to provide training in the ``Communities that Care'' prevention 
strategy.

Improvement of the Juvenile System

Continuation Programs--Children in Custody

$300,000
    Under this collaborative program between the OJJDP and U.S. Bureau 
of the Census, OJJDP proposes to transfer funds to the U.S. Bureau of 
the Census to conduct the biennial census of public and private 
juvenile detention, correctional, and shelter facilities. The census 
describes the target facilities in terms of their resident population 
as well as their programs and physical characteristics.
    The program would be implemented under an interagency agreement 
with the U.S. Bureau of the Census. No additional applications would be 
solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse

$1,006,798
    Part of the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), 
the Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse provides support to OJJDP in: (1) 
Collecting, synthesizing and disseminating information on all aspects 
of juvenile delinquency; (2) developing publications; and (3) preparing 
specialized responses to information requests from the juvenile justice 
field. The Clearinghouse maintains a toll-free number for information 
requests.
    The Clearinghouse also reviews on an continuing basis reports, 
data, and standards relating to the juvenile justice system in the 
United States and develops special resource products for the juvenile 
justice community.
    The Clearinghouse serves as an information center for the 
acquisition and dissemination of information regarding juvenile 
delinquency, including State and local juvenile delinquency prevention 
and treatment programs and plans, availability or resources, training 
and educational programs, statistics, and other pertinent data and 
information. The Clearinghouse serves as an information bank 
systematically collecting and synthesizing the data and knowledge 
obtained from research and evaluation by public and private agencies, 
institutions or individuals concerning all aspects of juvenile 
delinquency, including the prevention and treatment of juvenile 
delinquency.
    Recognizing the critical need to inform juvenile justice 
practitioners and other policymakers on program approaches which hold 
promise, the Clearinghouse continually develops and recommends new 
strategies to communicate the research findings and program activities 
of OJJDP to the practitioner community.
    The entire NCJRS contract, of which the JJC is a part, and which is 
administered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), is scheduled 
for competitive award in Fiscal Year 1994.

Coalition for Juvenile Justice*

$650,000
    The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (Coalition) was established in 
1983 as the National Coalition of State Juvenile Justice Advisory 
Groups. It was renamed the Coalition for Juvenile Justice effective 
January 1, 1993. The Coalition supports and facilitates the purposes 
and functions of State juvenile justice advisory groups. In 1984, 
Congress tasked the Coalition to review Federal policies regarding 
juvenile justice and delinquency prevention, prepare and submit an 
Annual Report and recommendations to the President and Congress, and 
provide advice to the OJJDP Administrator. The Coalition is also 
authorized to develop an Information Center for Juvenile Justice and 
Delinquency Prevention Programs, to conduct an Annual Conference and to 
disseminate information, data, standards, advanced techniques, and 
program models. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Juvenile Justice Data Resources

$25,000
    This program addresses the need to enhance the availability of 
juvenile justice data sets for secondary analysis. It will be 
implemented under an interagency agreement with the University of 
Michigan. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Juvenile Justice Statistics and Systems Development

$550,000
    The purpose of this program is to improve Federal, State, and local 
juvenile justice statistics and to enhance decision making and 
management information systems (MIS) within the juvenile justice 
system. The project is divided into two tracks, the National Statistics 
Track (NST) and Systems Development Track (SDT). The NST helps to 
formulate a comprehensive National Juvenile Justice Statistics program 
which will include a series of regular reports on the extent and nature 
of juvenile offenses and victimization and the justice system's 
response to the same. A major product will be a Report to the Nation on 
Juvenile Crime and Victimization.
    The SDT will assess juvenile justice agencies' decision making, 
needs, and abilities to generate and use information; develop models 
for decision making and related MIS; and develop and provide training 
and technical assistance to promote the adoption of model systems in 
test sites.
    The program will be implemented by the current grantee, the 
National Center for Juvenile Justice. No additional applications will 
be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Juveniles Taken Into Custody (JTIC): Interagency Agreement

$200,000
    The U.S. Bureau of the Census is working with OJJDP to develop a 
national comprehensive statistical reporting system responsive to the 
information requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 
Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, and to the needs of the juvenile 
justice field for data on juvenile custody populations in order to 
assist State legislatures and juvenile justice professionals in 
planning and policy-making decisions. The Census Bureau acts as the 
data collection agent for the JTIC program. The program will be 
implemented under an interagency agreement with the U.S. Bureau of the 
Census. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

National Juvenile Court Data Archive*

$611,000
    This program collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates 
available data concerning the Nation's juvenile courts. The Archive 
collects automated data and published reports from juvenile courts 
throughout the Nation. Using the automated data, the Archive produces 
comprehensive reports on the activities of the juvenile courts. These 
reports examine referrals, offenses, intake, and dispositions as well 
as specialized topics such as minorities in juvenile courts or specific 
offense categories. The Archive provides assistance to jurisdictions in 
analyzing their juvenile court data.
    The program will be implemented by the current grantee, the 
National Center for Juvenile Justice. No additional applications will 
be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Law Enforcement Training and Technical Assistance Program (Gangs)

$250,000
    This project provides technical assistance and training for 
Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to promote a better 
understanding of the juvenile justice system. This program offers six 
training programs:
     Police, Prosecution, Probation Operations Leading to 
Improved Children and Youth Services (POLICY I & 2) assists mid-level 
managers to develop management strategies that integrate juvenile 
services into mainstream law enforcement operations and demonstrates 
step-by-step methods to improve police productivity in the juvenile 
justice area.
     The Child Abuse and Exploitation Investigative Techniques 
program provides law enforcement officers with state-of-the-art 
approaches for building a case against individuals charged with child 
abuse, sexual exploitation, or the abduction of children.
     The Managing Juvenile Operations program provides a series 
of training approaches for police executives which demonstrates simple, 
yet effective, methods to increase departmental efficiency and 
effectiveness by integrating juvenile services into mainstream police 
activity.
     School Administrators for Effective Police, Probation, and 
Prosecutors Operations Leading to Improved Children and Youth Services 
(SAFE POLICY) brings together the chief executives of schools, law 
enforcement agencies, prosecution and probation divisions to promote 
interagency cooperation and coordination in dealing with youth-related 
problems.
     A new training program on the Serious Habitual Offender 
Comprehensive Action Program (SHOCAP) has been developed for the POLICY 
series of training programs.
    The Gang and Drug POLICY Training Program helps local jurisdictions 
develop a comprehensive strategy for combatting gangs and drugs. The 
objectives of this training program are to:
    (1) Provide a process for community leaders to develop cooperative 
strategies that address the problems resulting from gang and drug 
activities;
    (2) Promote an awareness and recognition of (a) the problems of 
gangs and drugs, (b) justice system practices, (c) behavior patterns of 
gangs and gang members, and (d) current system practices and 
demonstration projects;
    (3) Provide strategies and techniques for public and private 
interagency partnerships dealing with community gang and drug-related 
problems;
    (4) Clarify and document the roles, responsibilities, and issues 
relating to an interagency approach to the prevention, intervention, 
and suppression of the illegal activities of youth gangs;
    (5) Encourage leadership and innovation in the management and 
resolution of gang and drug problems; and
    (6) Develop or improve the response capacity to gang and drug 
issues through an effective interagency model which matches resources 
to demands.
    This program will be continued in Fiscal Year 1994 under an 
existing competitive contract award.

Contract for the Evaluation of OJJDP Programs

$652,341
    Information is being collected on the efficiency, cost-
effectiveness, and impact of OJJDP programs implemented through 
discretionary grants, interagency agreements, contracts, and possibly 
formula grants. OJJDP will use the reported findings, including 
strengths, weaknesses, and other assessment data, to make policy and 
planning decisions. The information may also benefit Congress, other 
Federal agencies, and State and local juvenile justice and child 
service staffs.
    The grantee is:
    1. Providing evaluative assessments of potential programs;
    2. Conducting a process evaluation of, and designing an impact 
evaluation for, the Satellite Prep School project;

    The contract is awarded to Caliber Associates for a three-year 
period. Third year funding, to be awarded in Fiscal Year 1994, is 
$652,341. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Children at Risk

$350,000
    OJJDP, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), and the Center on 
Addiction and Substance Abuse (the Center) of Columbia University have 
undertaken a joint effort to help communities rescue their high risk 
pre-adolescents from the interrelated threats of crime and drugs. The 
program tests a specific intervention strategy for reducing and 
controlling illegal drugs and related crime in target neighborhoods and 
fosters healthy development among youths from drug- and crime-ridden 
neighborhoods. Multi-service, multi-disciplinary neighborhood-based 
programs are being established which will provide a range of 
opportunities and diverse services for pre-adolescents and their 
families who are at high risk of involvement in illegal drugs and 
crime. Simultaneously, the criminal and juvenile justice systems are 
targeting resources to reduce illegal drug use and crime in the 
neighborhoods where these young people reside. OJJDP funds are used for 
the delinquency prevention components of the program.
    The Center has received funding from a number of Foundations, for 
this effort, which has been matched by OJJDP and BJA. Based on the 
proposals submitted, five communities were selected to receive funds 
beginning in Fiscal Year 1992 to implement programs over a three-year 
period: Seattle, Washington; Memphis, Tennessee; Bridgeport, 
Connecticut; Austin, Texas; and Savannah, Georgia. Foundation and 
government funding of between $500,000 and $1 million was allocated per 
community. The program will be implemented by the current grantee in 
the five communities. OJJDP funds will be transferred to BJA to 
implement the program under a BJA Grant and NIJ is supporting the 
evaluation with BJA funds. No additional applications will be solicited 
in Fiscal Year 1994.

Delay in the Imposition of Sanctions

$100,000
    This project is a continuation of research undertaken to study the 
delays in the delivery of sanctions to juveniles in the juvenile court 
system. Where delays are found in the processing of juvenile court 
cases, the study will address the problems created by these delays and 
make realistic recommendations on how to correct the problems. This 
award will be the third and final year of funding for a three-year 
project and will support the completion of Phase III. Phase I and Phase 
II, which were completed in the first two years, consisted of a 
literature review and survey of court administrators to determine the 
extent to which processing delays occur, a description of the 
characteristics that define the problem, an identification of the 
points in juvenile court case processing that are most susceptible to 
delays, an intensive site study that evaluated the effect that case 
processing delays have on juvenile courts' effectiveness and efficiency 
in handling delinquency cases, including the effect on juveniles 
themselves. Phase III will be the final stage of this three-year 
project, entailing a review of the project findings and development of 
a set of recommendations on how the juvenile justice system can improve 
case processing and reduce unnecessary delays. The program will be 
implemented by the current grantee, the National Center for Juvenile 
Justice. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Enhancing Enforcement Strategies for Juvenile Impaired Driving Due to 
Drug and Alcohol Abuse

$75,000
    This is a collaborative interagency program between OJJDP and the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The dollar 
amount of this program represents OJJDP's contribution. A total of 
$125,000 was awarded in Fiscal Year 1993 under this OJJDP grant. The 
purpose of this program is to combat the problem of youths involved in 
delinquent drinking and driving offenses by combining increased use of 
the arrest sanction and adopting uniform procedures for handling 
juvenile ``driving under the influence'' (DUI) arrestees. The result 
sought is an overall reduction in the incidence of drug- and alcohol-
related accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
    During Phase I of the program, the project developed a system-wide 
enforcement model which unites key criminal justice agency components--
police, prosecutors, judges, and probation officers--into one 
comprehensive DUI enforcement program. In this second phase of the 
project, the model will be demonstrated in up to five sites. These 
sites will receive a variety of technical assistance services.
    The program will be implemented by the current grantee, the Police 
Executive Research Forum. No additional applications will be solicited 
in Fiscal Year 1994.

Violence Study--Causes and Correlates*

$300,000
    OJJDP proposes to support additional analyses of data collected 
under its Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of 
Delinquency, conducted at the State University of New York at Albany, 
the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Colorado. The draft 
final report, ``Urban Delinquency and Substance Abuse,'' is under 
review. To use the collected data more fully, additional analyses need 
to be performed. These analyses are intended to enhance OJJDP's program 
development for serious, chronic, and violent offenders. Topics for 
analysis will be determined by program development requirements. For 
example, development of risk assessment instruments would benefit from 
more specific analyses regarding risk factors and pathways to chronic, 
serious, or violent offending.
    This program would be implemented by the grantees noted above. No 
additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Training and Technical Assistance for Juvenile Detention and 
Corrections (The James E. Gould Memorial Program)

$225,000
    The project would continue to provide technical assistance and 
training to juvenile correctional and detention agencies, serve as a 
national forum on juvenile corrections and detention, hold workshops on 
selected key issues, provide on-site technical assistance, hold a 
National Juvenile Day Treatment Conference, and promote literacy 
education and networking.
    The project, which would emphasize intermediate sanctions for non-
violent juveniles involved in drug-related offenses and illegal 
activities in Fiscal Year 1994, would be implemented by the current 
grantee, The American Correctional Association. No additional 
applications would be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Training for Juvenile Corrections Staff

$475,000
    OJJDP proposes to continue the development and implementation of a 
comprehensive training program for juvenile corrections and detention 
staff through an interagency agreement with the National Institute of 
Corrections (NIC). The program is designed to offer a core curriculum 
for juvenile corrections and detention administrators and mid-level 
management personnel in such areas as leadership development, 
management, training of trainers, legal issues, cultural diversity, 
gang activity, juvenile programming for specialized needs of offenders, 
and overcrowding. The training would be conducted at the NIC Academy 
and regionally. This program would be implemented in Fiscal Year 1994 
under an interagency agreement with NIC. No additional applications 
would be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Improving Literacy Skills of Institutionalized Juvenile Delinquents

$250,000
    This is a competitively awarded program funding two grants: 
Mississippi University for Women ($125,000), and The Nellie Thomas 
Institute of Learning ($125,000). Many juvenile delinquents in 
correctional institutions need to develop basic reading and writing 
skills. The program will improve the literacy levels of juvenile 
residents in these facilities while creating a national network of 
trained reading teachers and volunteers available to juvenile 
correctional facilities. It will include training, follow-up technical 
assistance on teaching methods, and a curriculum for use by the staff 
of detention and corrections facilities.
    This program will be implemented by the current grantees, The 
Mississippi University for Women, and The Nellie Thomas Institute of 
Learning. No additional applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 
1994.

Improvement in Correctional Education for Juvenile Offenders

$200,000
    The purpose of this program is to assist juvenile corrections 
administrators in planning and implementing improved educational 
services for detained and incarcerated juvenile offenders.
    In Fiscal Year 1992, the National Office for Social Responsibility 
(NOSR) was awarded a three year cooperative agreement to begin a 
comprehensive assessment of the literature and to produce a report 
documenting the state-of-the-art practices in educational reform. The 
results will determine how the information will be used in the future 
to improve educational services for incarcerated juveniles.
    NOSR also will be awarded up to $200,000 to provide training and 
technical assistance to selected sites that are interested in 
implementing correctional education reform. No additional applications 
will be solicited for this training and technical program during Fiscal 
Year 1994.

Juvenile Court Training*

$1,074,000
    The primary purpose of this project is to continue and refine the 
training and technical assistance program offered by the National 
Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. The training objectives 
are to supplement law school curricula, provide judges with current 
information on developments in juvenile and family case law, and make 
available options for sentencing and treatment. Emphasis will be placed 
on drug testing, gangs and violence, and intermediate sanctions. The 
project will provide foundation training to new judges and to 
experienced judges who have been recently assigned to the juvenile or 
family court bench.
    The program will be implemented by the current grantee, The 
National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. No additional 
applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Technical Assistance to the Juvenile Courts*

$390,000
    The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ), the current 
grantee, is the research division of the National Council of Juvenile 
and Family Court Judges. The four types of technical assistance 
available under the grant are (1) Information resources, (2) on-site 
consultation, (3) off-site consultation, and (4) cross-site 
consultation. Emphasis will be placed on intermediate sanctions for 
handling juveniles involved in drug-related offenses and gang 
activities. In addition, the project will examine appropriate use of 
juvenile records in adult court proceedings, including an examination 
of State laws and practices.
    The current grantee, the National Center for Juvenile Justice, will 
implement the program. No additional applications will be solicited in 
Fiscal Year 1994.

Due Process Advocacy Program Development

$250,000
    In Fiscal Year 1993, OJJDP funded the American Bar Association 
(ABA), in partnership with the Juvenile Law Center (JLC) of 
Philadelphia, PA and the Youth Law Center (YLC) of San Francisco, CA, 
to develop a due process advocacy program strategy. The goals of the 
program are to increase juvenile offenders' access to legal services; 
and to improve the quality of pre-adjudication, adjudication, and 
dispositional advocacy for juvenile offenders. These strategies will be 
made available to state and local bar associations and other relevant 
organizations so that they can develop approaches to increase the 
availability and quality of counsel for juveniles. The ABA and its 
partners (JLC and YLC) will assess the current state-of-the-art with 
regard to legal services, training and education, develop strategies to 
improve access, availability and the quality of counsel and provide a 
comprehensive report on these issues. During the second funding cycle, 
training materials will be developed and tested in selected sites. 
Training materials will be adjusted based on the experience in the test 
sites and a dissemination strategy will be developed. The ABA will 
develop mechanisms for networking with legal service providers such as 
public defender offices and Children's Law Centers. Fiscal Year 1994 
funding will support the first six months of the total second year 
budget of this three year effort. An additional $250,000 will be 
provided from Fiscal Year 1995 funds for the remaining six months of 
the second year. No new applications will be solicited.

Training in Cultural Differences for Law Enforcement/Juvenile Justice 
Officials

$150,000
    The project will complete, test, implement, and provide for the 
dissemination and juvenile justice system utilization of, a cultural 
diversity training curriculum. The curriculum will be designed to serve 
the training of trainers in the police/juvenile justice field, and will 
respond to the unique needs of the major components of the juvenile 
justice system. Thus, it is expected that training modules and 
supportive materials will be oriented to cover the aspects of cultural/
ethnic diversity particularly relevant to law enforcement, detention 
staff, probation officers, judges, institutional personnel, aftercare 
workers, and others involved in the various juvenile justice processes. 
An award for the current phase of the project will be made to the 
present grantee, the American Correctional Association. No new 
applicants will be invited.

Bootcamps for Juvenile Offenders: Constructive Intervention and Early 
Support

$550,000
    During Fiscal Year 1991, and after an extensive competitive review 
process, OJJDP selected and funded three jurisdictions to participate 
in the Bootcamp for Juvenile Offenders program. The program is designed 
to create an alternative intermediate-sanction program for non-violent 
juvenile offenders under the age of 18. The program is also designed to 
emphasize discipline, treatment and work in a military-style bootcamp 
program. These programs are also participating in an independent, 
national evaluation to document the process and impact of the program.
    OJJDP will use funds transferred from the Bureau of Justice 
Assistance (BJA) to provide a limited amount of supplemental funds to 
three currently Federally funded Bootcamp programs in a military-style 
bootcamp program based on their assessed needs. No new applications 
will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Comprehensive Gang Initiative

$500,000
    In 1992, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) introduced the 
Comprehensive Gang Initiative. Funding for the Fiscal Year 1994 
initiative will be a joint effort by BJA and OJJDP (OJJDP would 
transfer $500,000 to BJA to support this effort). The Police Executive 
Research Forum (PERF) has developed a model comprehensive approach to 
gang issues, which carefully balances initiatives for prevention, 
intervention and suppression. The model encompasses strategies which 
bring together cooperative and coordinated efforts of the police, other 
criminal justice agencies, human services providers and community 
programs. In addition to a prototype, PERF has developed a training 
curriculum and a program for providing technical assistance to model 
demonstration sites. The first four competitively selected 
demonstration sites were being funded during Fiscal Year 1993 and 
technical assistance was provided by PERF. Four additional sites will 
be funded in Fiscal Year 1994 through a competitive process. 
Applications would be solicited by BJA.

Investigative Case Management of Missing Children Homicides

$150,000
    The purpose of this project is to analyze up to 400 missing 
children homicide cases in order to identify, assess, test, 
demonstrate, and then describe the investigative practices that will 
most effectively solve missing and abducted children murder 
investigations.
    The program development and activity will be carried out by the 
State of Washington Attorney General's Office, Criminal Investigation 
Division, and that Office's Homicide Investigation Tracking System 
(HITS), in collaboration with the National Center for Missing and 
Exploited Children (NCMEC) and NCMEC's cadre of volunteer

investigative resource guide and a national law enforcement training 
and technical assistance program to aid local, State, and Federal 
agencies investigating missing children homicides. No additional 
applications will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.

Missing Children Data Archive

$50,000
    OJJDP is committed to making publicly available all data sets 
produced from the Missing Children research programs. To do so, the 
research data files should be configured into a readily understandable 
data file with complete documentation. OJJDP has signed an Interagency 
Agreement with the University of Michigan for just such preparation and 
archiving of the data sets. Specifically, the University of Michigan 
will prepare the data and the documentation to conform to generally 
accepted standards for electronic data. In this way, the data will be 
more readily accessible for secondary analysis by policy analysts and 
researchers. During the past fiscal year, this project prepared the 
data from OJJDP's ``National Study of Law Enforcement Agencies' 
Policies Regarding Missing Children and Homeless Youth.'' Previously, 
this project also prepared and distributed OJJDP's first ``National 
Incident Study of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children'' 
(NISMART). In the coming year, OJJDP anticipates preparing the 
following data sets: ``Families of Missing Children: Psychological 
Consequences and Promising Interventions,'' and ``Obstacles to the 
Recovery and Return of Parentally Abducted Children.''

Remember, They're Children: Using Video To Train Law Enforcement 
Personnel

$200,000
    The purpose of the project is to minimize the negative impact of 
law enforcement investigative procedures on maltreated children. This 
will be accomplished through the intensive development and innovative 
dissemination to law enforcement personnel of a comprehensive video 
training curriculum designed to improve investigative responses to 
child victims of maltreatment.
    The National Child Welfare Resource Center will provide small and 
medium-sized departments with the resources (video curriculum, 
dissemination avenues, national guidebooks, and other materials) to 
train and support their staff on how to conduct effective but 
nontraumatizing child abuse investigations. No additional applications 
will be solicited in Fiscal Year 1994.
