Abstract
Section 522(a) of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 3711, et seq., requires that the States annually submit to the Bureau of Justice Assistance a report concerning the activities performed under the Formula Grant Program. These performance reports provide the basis for the annual report from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to the President and the Congress. These executive summaries present a synopsis of the information contained in each report. The State Annual Reports provide information on programs funded under the Formula Grant Program, along with evaluation activities and results. The introductory section provides an overview of programs as they link to program priorities and objectives outlined in each State's drug control and violent-crime strategy. This section also describes how and to what extent each State's programs have contributed to the goals of the Formula Grant Program. All grant programs that were active during the report period are included in the summaries. Successful, innovative, or promising programs and practices are highlighted in the reports. Programs and practices that have proved unsuccessful and the reason for failure are also described. The summary of evaluation activities and results outlines the major findings of any program and project evaluations completed during the report period.
