IMPACT ON STATES/LOCALITIES

  • Currently, 47 states & 6 U.S. Territories participate in the Act
  • Implementation success will depend on appropriation levels and OJJDP’s

leadership to provide TA and training to states and localities.

  • Emphasis on evidence-based and promising practices.
  • Supports more robust community-based programming across the continuum

for youth through extended ages of jurisdiction.

  • Data requirements will help focus states on what is happening with status
  • ffenses, youth re-entry and living arrangements, school-based arrests, and

specialized populations (e.g. trafficked youth, girls, and Tribal youth).

  • More opportunities to increase education & workforce success.
