In order to effectively administer the Title 5 Program, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) incorporated it into a broad-based action plan, under OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders. A balance of prevention and graduated sanctions for juvenile offenders is the key to successfully addressing rising rates of serious and violent delinquency. In 1994, $13 million was provided to begin implementation of the Title 5 program. Funds available through the program have been distributed to 52 States and Territories. Additionally, OJJDP made available two phases of risk-focused prevention training to interested local leaders. Additional training and technical assistance resources will continue to be available in 1995 and future years. OJJDP believes that Title 5 Programs establish for the first time a comprehensive nationwide approach to delinquency prevention. Feedback from participating States indicates that their long-term expectations for the Title 5 approach are more promising than the fragmented and unfocused approaches to delinquency prevention that have been tried in the past.
