OJJDP FY 2014 Investigator-Initiated Research on Risk Assessment
This solicitation seeks applications for research studies on the implementation and impact of risk assessment in the juvenile justice system.
OJJDP works with communities across the country to divert youth who pose low public safety and recidivism risk from the juvenile justice system and to provide youth in the system with appropriate and effective interventions and services.
A better understanding of risk assessment tools effectiveness and how those tools are best used across the juvenile justice system is the foundation to better identifying the risks and needs of youth and effectively intervening with the youth who come in contact with the juvenile justice system.
Understanding how risk assessments can be used to promote diversion and community-based alternatives, when appropriate, is of particular interest to OJJDP.
This program is authorized pursuant to paragraph (2) under the Juvenile Justice heading in the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014, Pub.
