Title V Community Prevention Grants Program, 2002 Report to Congress (Paperback)

Established by Congress in its 1992 amendments to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, the Title V Program gives communities the framework, tools, and funding they need to prevent delinquency and help youth become productive, responsible adults. This is the ninth annual report to Congress on the activities of the Title V program. In addition to providing an overview of the structure of the Community Prevention Grants Program, the 2002 report to Congress looks at its conceptual framework, including the importance of delinquency prevention, the research on risk and protective factors, and current knowledge about "what works" in delinquency prevention. It provides an update on federal Title V allocations and state subgrant awards for 2002 and highlights the experience of Title V communities nationwide in using the research base to implement, evaluate, and sustain their programs.
