Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Proposed Comprehensive Plan for Fiscal Year 1998
Fiscal Year 1998 Programs
The following are brief summaries of each of the new and continuation programs scheduled to
receive funding in FY 1998. As indicated above, the program categories are public safety and
law enforcement; strengthening the juvenile justice system; delinquency prevention and
intervention; and child abuse and neglect and dependency courts. However, because many
programs have significant elements of more than one of these program categories -- or generally
support all of OJJDP's programs -- they are listed in an initial program category, called
overarching programs. The specific program priorities within each category are subject to change
with regard to their priority status, sites for implementation, and other descriptive data and
information based on grantee performance, application quality, fund availability, and other
factors.
A number of OJJDP programs have been identified for funding consideration by Congress with
regard to the grantee(s), the amount of funds, or both. These programs, which are listed below,
are not included in the program descriptions that follow.
