This document presents a report concerning the activities of each State carried out under the Formula Grant Program of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
Abstract
The BJA established the State Evaluation Development Program (SED), a state-based program with an orientation toward establishing Federal, State, and local partnerships, to assist in implementing the reporting and evaluation requirements of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. Through SED, BJA provides technical assistance and training to the State and local offices and agencies responsible for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating violent crime and drug control programs funded under the Drug Control and System Improvement Formula Grant Program. The State Annual Reports (SARs) report on and provide information on programs funded under the Formula Grant Program and evaluation activities and results. The Impact Statements is a compilation of the executive summaries from the 1997 SARs submitted to BJA. The Impact Statements provide an overview of programs as they link to program priorities and objectives outlined in each State’s drug control and violent crime strategy. Descriptions of how and to what extent each State’s programs have contributed to the goals of the Formula Grant Program are included. Reports on successful, innovative, or promising programs and practices are highlighted in the Research and Evaluation Reports section.
