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 the field and OJJDP, including 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 an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
