OJJDP FY24 Child Victimization and Juvenile Justice Prosecution Training and Technical Assistance Program

With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to select organization(s) to provide training and technical assistance geared toward strengthening prosecution efforts as listed below:

• Prosecution of cases of child victimization while in custodial care. These are cases in which children or youth report that they have been victimized while in out-of-home placement, whether that is foster care, group home, shelter care, or a custodial setting. These cases are far less likely to result in prosecution than cases in which a child or youth has been victimized while not in out-of-home placement. 

The program will provide training and technical assistance to prosecutors to improve their handling and prosecution of cases involving children and youth who report victimization while in out of home or custodial care.
