Fiscal year 1996 programs plans for bureaus of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) represent a continuation of previous efforts to work in partnership with law enforcement and criminal justice agencies across the United States to break the cycle of drugs and violence and eliminate the consequences of crime.
Abstract
OJP program plans emphasize increasing collaboration across Federal, State, and local agencies; leveraging resources with other Federal agencies, foundations, and the private sector; identifying specific needs, priorities, and gaps in the criminal justice system; and implementing innovative and cost-effective strategies that demonstrate concrete results. OJP program plans also support community-based initiatives that recognize the lead role communities must play in violence prevention and the multidisciplinary approach required to combat crime in neighborhoods. Program plans are included for the following OJP bureaus: Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Institute of Justice, and Office for Victims of Crime. The program plans present information on program goals and priorities, program types, and the framework for programming and research. Summaries of specific programs are included.
