A growing number of communities have adopted OJJDP's Comprehensive Gang Model, a multi-strategy, multidisciplinary approach that has proven to be effective in reducing gang activity. The OJJDP FY 2011 Comprehensive Anti-Gang Strategies and Programs solicitation provides funding for localities to support coordinated federal, state, and local partnerships to implement the following anti-gang programs: primary prevention, secondary prevention, gang intervention, and targeted gang enforcement. This program will be authorized by an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
