BACKGROUND:
In 2000, the California state legislature passed the Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act, which authorized funding for county juvenile justice programs and designated the Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) to distribute the funds. In 2001, the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) was created by passage of California’s Crime Prevention Act of 2000 to provide a stable funding source for local juvenile justice programs aimed at curbing crime and delinquency among at-promise youth.
