FY 2010 Title V Community Prevention Program

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.

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) is the designated State agency to receive Title V funds in the State of Indiana. ICJI expects to fund between 2 and 3 subgrants to support local DMC Coordinators. ICJI will work closely with the Youth Law T.E.A.M. of Indiana, contracted compliance monitors, to determine and certify that all grantees that are awarded Title V funding are in compliance with the first three (3) core requirements of the JJDP Act. In order for a grantee to be in compliance with the disproportionate minority contact (DMC) core requirement, ICJI will certify that the jurisdiction is actively working on DMC issues. This is defined by working with and requesting technical assistance from the State's DMC Coordinator to prevent and/or reduce minority involvement in the juvenile justice system.
