With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to select organization(s) to provide training and technical assistance geared toward strengthening prosecution efforts as listed below:
• Prosecution of cases of child victimization while in custodial care.
These are cases in which children or youth
credit:
report that they have been victimized while in out-of-home placement, whether that is foster care, group home, shelter care, or a custodial setting.
These cases are far less likely to result in prosecution than cases in which a child or youth has been victimized while not in out-of-home placement.
