Utah Title II Three-Year Comprehensive Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Plan

The Formula Grants Program is authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act. The purpose of this program is to support state and local delinquency prevention and intervention efforts and juvenile justice system improvements. Supported activities and efforts may include: planning and administration; state advisory group allocation; compliance monitoring; disproportionate minority contact; juvenile justice issues for Native American Indian tribes; prevention of substance abuse by juveniles; prevention of serious and violent crimes by juveniles; prevention of juvenile gang involvement and illegal youth gang activities; prevention of delinquent acts and identification of youth at risk of delinquency; and improvement of juvenile justice system operations, policies, and procedures including establishing a system of graduated sanctions, treatment programs, and aftercare as found in section 223(a) of the JJDP Act.

The State of Utah’s FY18 Title II Three-Year Plan incorporates principles of current literature, evidence-based, best practices, and data-driven to identify gaps in services and other areas of need. The comprehensive plan proposes solutions and areas of focus based on these principles. Utah’s SAG has set priorities for the following funding areas: Juvenile Justice System Improvement, Delinquency Prevention, Disproportionate Minority Contact, and Indian Tribe Programs.
