The Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering this grant to states and territories to address disproportionate minority contact (DMC) within the juvenile justice system. This grant is for the purpose of ensuring equal and fair treatment for all youth by reducing the significant difference in contact rates between minority groups and non-Hispanic whites. Pursuant to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, funding will support states in implementing state and/or local governing boards. Additionally, recipients will conduct assessments of local juvenile justice systems to identify the extent of DMC and contributing factors, ultimately aiming to develop strategies for effective reduction.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention |
| Description: | Pursuant to Section 223(a)(22) of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, states and territories must address specific delinquency prevention and system improvement efforts to reduce, without establishing or requiring numerical standards or quotas, the disproportionate number of minority juveniles who come into contact with the juvenile justice system. DMC exists if the rate with which specific minority group comes into contact with the juvenile justice system significantly differs from the rate of contact for non-Hispanic whites or other minority groups. The goal of OJJDP�s DMC efforts is to ensure equal and fair treatment for every youth involved in the juvenile justice system. Thus, this project will provide funding to the states to implement state and/or local governing boards and to conduct an assessment of the local jurisdiction(s) juvenile justice system to determine the extent of DMC and possible contributing factors to reduce DMC in their juvenile justice systems. This program will be authorized by an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice. |
