OBJECTIVES:
The goals of the program are to: 1) reduce the incidence of violence through accountability efforts for juvenile offenders; 2) respond to victimization of children whether as a result of violence that occurs in the school, community or family; and 3) increase protective factors to prevent juvenile violence, delinquency, and victimization.
The objectives and deliverables include the following:
– Enhance and/or develop and implement supportive services for children exposed to violence in their homes, schools, and communities.
– Develop community-based approaches and crime-reduction strategies that focus on prevention and intervention of violent crime, and accountability for youth offenders.
– Provide outreach strategies to increase awareness and build the capacity of families and communities to help children exposed to violence.
– Applicants must propose and undertake their work through a multidisciplinary team of stakeholders, which may be either an existing collaborative group or one that is formed specifically for this project. A description of the team structure must be referenced in the program narrative and must be submitted as an attachment labeled “Planning Team.” This planning team should meet regularly throughout the project period to identify and address service gaps and barriers, and create a blueprint for a comprehensive network of services for children exposed to violence and their families; build the capacity of communities to help children exposed to violence; and prevent/reduce juvenile violent crime.
