Indiana's FY 2013 Three-Year Plan Update

The Formula Grants Program is authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended. The purpose of this program is to support state and local delinquency prevention and intervention efforts and juvenile justice system improvements through a range of administration, compliance and program activities including those that address juvenile justice issues for Native American Indian tribes.

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) will use FY 2014 Title II Formula Grant funding to enable Indiana to remain in compliance with the four Core Requirements of the JJDP Act. ICJI's main goal is to maintain and enhance the progress made over the past two years in the area of DMC and to meet the additional requirements (i.e. implementation of interventions as recommended from the DMC Assessment Study), as outlined by OJJDP. ICJI programs will focus on projects that are evidence-based or promising practices. Goals and objectives will be met through the following activities: Alternatives to Detention, Compliance Monitoring, Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC), Mental Health Services, Planning and Administration, State Advisory Group Allocation, and Substance Abuse. Funding will continue to support full-time staff that will manage all aspects of the Title II Formula Grants Program (JJ Specialist, Program Manager, and DMC Coordinator), as well as allow staff to attend conferences and trainings as deemed critical and required by OJJDP.
