Topics in Crime Prevention: Making It Happen
The advent of the New Year is an ideal time to take inventory of what works and what doesn't. NCPC is offering the Topics in Crime Prevention publication, Making It Happen: How States Can Encourage and Benefit From Local Planning and Action To Prevent Crime, as an example of an approach that can have real benefits for those active in crime prevention.
The publication discusses how local governments are increasingly engaged in comprehensive crime prevention planning that focuses on action based in partnerships with grassroots organizations. Time and again, this type of partnership has proven to be a remarkable success, in many cases resulting in a reduction in crime rates. State leaders—governors, attorneys general, public safety secretaries, and other officials involved in crime prevention—can encourage and support these local initiatives in many ways and derive significant benefits from them.
Making it Happen explains why state leaders should encourage or mandate local planning efforts and enable state officials to participate fully in local initiatives. It suggests what local actions states should promote, how effective community plans are characterized, and how state officials can begin the process of supporting comprehensive local planning and action to prevent crime.
For a limited time, we are offering this publication at $5.00, $2.95 off its NCPC catalog price of $7.95. Please specify Offer A19 when you order. Shipping and handling charges are extra. Bulk discounts: Order ten or more copies and get an additional 20 percent off! Call 800-NCPC-911 to order.
Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges and Universities Are Doing About It
National Institute of Justice-sponsored research into sexual assault on the campuses of America 's universities and colleges has long contributed to public discourse. The Institute's latest release, Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges and Universities Are Doing About It (PDF), advances the dialog, with a look at school compliance with reporting requirements under federal law. The study also investigates the strengths and weaknesses of response policies and practices, formal and informal adjudication processes, and individual and institutional barriers to reporting. Among the findings is that although most schools annually report crime, only a third do so in a way that complies with federal law.
Juvenile Accountability Block Grants Program: 2004 Report to Congress
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announces the availability of Juvenile Accountability Block Grants Program: 2004 Report to Congress.
The purpose of OJJDP's Juvenile Accountability Block Grants (JABG) program is to strengthen the juvenile justice system by providing states and communities with funds to develop or enhance their juvenile justice programming. The report presents findings from the first round of JABG performance measurement data collected by OJJDP.
Following a brief program history, the report analyzes how JABG expenditures influence state and local infrastructures and practices, identifies the types of programs that states have developed using JABG funds, describes performance measurement data from JABG program activities, and highlights training and technical assistance that OJJDP has provided to help localities develop more effective programs.
Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant: Assessing Initial Implementation
The Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program helps states, counties, cities, and towns hold young criminal offenders responsible for their actions and impose increasingly serious sanctions for each delinquent or criminal act. That is the finding of a recently released NIJ-sponsored evaluation, Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant: Assessing Initial Implementation . The study also found that the program generally achieves goals set by Congress, including greater collaboration between state and local agencies.
