JAIBG\u003cbr\u003ealso supports interagency information-sharing programs that enable the juvenile\u003cbr\u003eand criminal justice systems, schools, and social services agencies to make\u003cbr\u003einformed decisions regarding the early identification, control, supervision, and\u003cbr\u003etreatment of juveniles who repeatedly commit serious or violent delinquent acts.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, JAIBG authorizes programs that use law enforcement to protect school\u003cbr\u003epersonnel and students from drug, gang, and youth violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of these areas of activity supports our efforts to intervene with juveniles\u003cbr\u003ewho have committed a crime, to hold them accountable, and to provide them\u003cbr\u003ewith the direction and support they need to avoid committing further offenses.\u003cbr\u003eJuvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants: Strategic Planning Guide is\u003cbr\u003eintended to serve as a planning tool, providing a conceptual framework to\u003cbr\u003eanalyze juvenile justice system needs and determine the most effective use of\u003cbr\u003eJAIBG funds. The Guide shows how results-based decisionmaking can be\u003cbr\u003eapplied in the JAIBG program to identify desired results, create and track\u003cbr\u003eindicators of progress toward achieving those results, and assess program\u003cbr\u003eperformance so that adjustments can be made that will improve the delivery of\u003cbr\u003eprograms and services in the juvenile justice system. The Guide will also\u003cbr\u003ebenefit a broad spectrum of planners and practitioners by providing them with\u003cbr\u003einformation that can be used to foster local efforts to employ results-based\u003cbr\u003edecision making across a variety of disciplines.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145594913008,"sku":"2940013103894","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013103894_p0.jpg?v=1763576647","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013103894","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
