To better serve and inform the juvenile justice field, OJJDP is expanding and enhancing the offerings on the In Focus section of its Web site. The section features links to several topical portal pages that focus on issues of particular interest to the Office. In Focus features include the following:

• The Girls' Delinquency page describes the Office's efforts to address the rising arrest rates for juvenile females over the past two decades. The page offers brief explanations of resources provided by OJJDP, including OJJDP-supported research—featuring the Girls Study Group, training and technical assistance, programs, activities at the State level, and publications and other resources available to the field. Each section contains links to affiliated Web sites.

• The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children page describes training and technical assistance programs, collaborative demonstration programs, and research projects that OJJDP supports to address the commercial sexual exploitation of children and assist its victims. The page includes links to grantees' Web sites and other resources.

• The Department of Justice's Youth Gang Prevention Initiative portal page includes a history of DOJ's efforts to address youth gangs, descriptions of OJJDP 's anti-gang programs, and publications and other resources. There are links to the National Youth Gang Center and other program Web sites, publications, and additional resources.

OJJDP regularly updates each page and will continue to develop topical portal pages to reflect priority areas of the Office and emerging issues in the field.
