Grant Description: The Tribal Youth Program (TYP) supports and enhances tribal efforts to prevent and control delinquency and improve the juvenile justice system for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth. TYP is part of the Indian Country Law Enforcement Initiative, a joint initiative of the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ) and the Interior to improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal and juvenile justice in Indian country. Many of the 1.9 million American Indians living on or near Indian lands lack sufficient law enforcement services. Indian communities face chronic underfunding for their justice systems, lack access to meaningful training for law enforcement and justice personnel, and lack comprehensive programs that focus on preventing juvenile delinquency, providing intervention services, and imposing appropriate sanctions. Although violent crime arrest rates have declined throughout the United States, they continue to rise in Indian country. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics publication American Indians and Crime, A BJS Statistical Profile, 1992-2002 (Perry, 2004), American Indians experience violent crime at a rate twice that of the general population. Of particular concern to tribes and the federal government, especially the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), is the increasing number of violent crimes committed by and against juveniles in Indian country. Thus, the Indian Country Law Enforcement Initiative and OJJDP seek to enhance law enforcement in Indian country and improve the quality of life in tribal communities as a means to address these problems. Since fiscal year (FY) 1999, OJJDP has awarded 270 grants to tribes throughout the nation to develop and implement culturally sensitive delinquency prevention programs, alcohol and substance abuse prevention programs, interventions for court involved youth, and improvements to the juvenile justice system. Since FY 2003, OJJDP has awarded cooperative agreements to federally recognized tribes.
