Funding Information
The Juvenile Justice Advisory Board (JJAB), through the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, supports programs for the improvement of the juvenile justice system and delinquency prevention. Funds for this program are made available by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) of the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 and subsequent amendments (42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.). Title V of the JJDP Act of 1974 was created by Congress to provide funds to local communities to prevent delinquency and provide early intervention efforts. Impetus of the JJAB continues to be on directing funds towards communities that can adequately support viable programs for youth, the administration of funds and sustainability while providing outputs and outcomes that support justification for funding.
The Juvenile Justice Advisory Board is Kentucky’s federally mandated State Advisory Group (SAG) on juvenile justice issues. Created in 1997, it has played a pivotal role in reforming Kentucky’s juvenile justice system and creating an effective, equitable system to prevent juvenile crime and delinquency.
