Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Only the agency that the chief executive (i.e., the governor) of each state designates is eligible to apply for these funds. The term state means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Applicants that do not meet this criterion are ineligible to apply under this solicitation.
Grant Description: Pursuant to Section 223(a)(22) of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, states and territories must address specific delinquency prevention and system improvement efforts to reduce, without establishing or requiring numerical standards or quotas, the disproportionate number of minority juveniles who come into contact with the juvenile justice system. DMC exists if the rate with which specific minority group comes into contact with the juvenile justice system significantly differs from the rate of contact for non-Hispanic whites or other minority groups. The goal of OJJDPs DMC efforts is to ensure equal and fair treatment for every youth involved in the juvenile justice system. Thus, this project will provide funding to the states to implement state and/or local governing boards and to conduct an assessment of the local jurisdiction(s) juvenile justice system to determine the extent of DMC and possible contributing factors to reduce DMC in their juvenile justice systems. This program will be authorized by an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
