OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 2010 Evaluations of Girls&#146; Delinquency Programs
Description: Over the past two decades, the number of girls entering the juvenile justice system has grown dramatically. This increase has raised a number of questions for OJJDP, including whether delinquency in girls has worsened or society&apos;s responses to girls&apos; behavior have changed. A key question to answer is whether programs and strategies exist to prevent and reduce the delinquency and involvement of girls in the juvenile justice system.This solicitation is designed to fund grants to document and measure the effectiveness of delinquency prevention, intervention, and/or treatment programs in preventing and reducing girls&#146; risk behavior and offending. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117).
