Annotation

Project New Pride is a juvenile delinquency prevention/training program that targets juvenile multiple offenders, including the handicapped and developmentally disabled. New Pride's project director and technical assistance director, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) administrator, and Georgetown University officials all praise the New Pride concept and emphasize the Washington D.C. area's special need for the project.

Abstract

Georgetown's Department of Pediatrics chairman hopes that Project New Pride will alleviate some of D.C.'s juvenile delinquency problems, made worse by an increased trend toward more working and single mothers. The OJJDP administrator hails New Pride as an innovation in the juvenile justice field and condemns the practice of jailing juveniles. He favors OJJDP attention to the problem of racial and sex discrimination in the criminal justice system and supports LEAA's termination.
