BACKGROUND:
The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) provides state funding to counties for implementation of programs that have proven effective in reducing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth. The Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) provides state funding to counties for custody and care of youth no longer eligible to be committed to the state's Department of Juvenile Justice. Allocations from this funding are used to enhance the capacity of County departments such as Probation and Mental Health, to be able to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful offenders.
