Title V - Delinquency Prevention Project

This program intends to reduce risks and enhance protective factors to prevent at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice systems and to intervene with first-time and non-serious offenders to keep them out of the juvenile justice system.

Specifically, the State of Kentucky anticipates funding no more than two sub-grantees in FY 2009; focusing on delinquency prevention issues which may include, but are not limited to, truancy, gang prevention, children of incarcerated parents, or school programs. Sub-grantees must meet the requirements set forth in 42 U.S.C. Section 5783(b) of the JJDP Act of 2002, and Kentucky shall give priority in funding to applicants that demonstrate the ability to develop data-driven prevention plans and employ evidence-based strategies.
