Analysis of the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Title V Community Prevention Grant Program

Abstract

From federal fiscal years 2000 through 2006, Indiana received over $2.8 million in Title V grants, allocated by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), to support local juvenile delinquency prevention efforts. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) is responsible for administering the state’s Title V program. This report summarizes the findings of five case studies of Title V programs. The program assessments are based on a detailed examination of a number of sources of information: (a) subgrantees’ original proposals; (b) continuation applications; (c) information provided by ICJI in the form of award control spreadsheets that include legal applicant and implementing agency names, project title, award amounts, county served, and grant numbers; and (d) all quarterly financial and progress reports submitted by Title V subgrantees in 2005 and 2006 to ICJI.
