OJJDP FY 2011 Comprehensive Anti-Gang Strategies and Programs
Youth gangs continue to have a significant adverse impact on youth, families, and communities across America.
A growing number of communities have adopted OJJDPs Comprehensive Gang Model, a multi-strategy, multidisciplinary approach that has proven to be effective in reducing gang activity.
The OJJDP FY 2011 Comprehensive Anti-Gang Strategies and Programs solicitation provides funding for localities to support coordinated federal, state, and local partnerships to implement the following anti-gang programs:
primary prevention, secondary prevention, gang intervention, and targeted gang enforcement.
This program will be authorized by an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
