Final Program Plan

OJJDP published its FY 2002 Final Program Plan in the Federal Register on June 5, 2002. As outlined in the Plan, OJJDP’s program priorities in FY 2002 include youth reentry programs, capacity building in community- and faith-based organizations, juvenile drug use prevention programs, and school violence prevention programs.

In addition, the discretionary programs OJJDP administers typically address one or more of the following goals:

  • OJJDP promotes delinquency prevention and early intervention efforts that reduce the flow of juvenile offenders into the juvenile justice system, the numbers of serious and violent offenders, and the development of chronic delinquent careers.

  • OJJDP seeks to improve the juvenile justice system and its response to juvenile delinquents, status offenders, and dependent, neglected, and abused children.

  • OJJDP supports corrections, detention, and community- and faith-based alternatives that protect the public, incorporate appropriate secure detention and corrections options, and foster the use of community-based programs for juvenile offenders.

  • OJJDP supports law enforcement, public safety, and other justice agency efforts to prevent juvenile delinquency, intervene in the development of chronic delinquent careers, and collaborate with the juvenile justice system to meet the needs of dependent, neglected, and abused children.

OJJDP received 21 letters commenting on the Proposed Plan, which was published on October 23, 2001. All comments have been considered in the development of the Final Program Plan. The Final Program Plan, with a complete list of FY 2002 programs, is available through OJJDP’s Web site at ojjdp.ncjrs.org/funding/funding.html.
