Tensions in the school setting make a greater contribution to delinquent behavior than do learning disabilities. A major OJJDP study in 1974 found that the link between learning disabilities and juvenile delinquency was not yet established but should be studied further. This was done with the funding of a program in 1976 to investigate the delinquency-disabilities link in three metropolitan areas. Preliminary results of this study suggest that although learning disabled youth do not engage in more delinquent activity than nonlearning disabled juveniles, learning disabled youths are twice as likely to be brought into the juvenile justice system. This suggests that schools incorporate more remediation programs for the learning disabled and that diversion programs include procedures to identify and treat the learning disabled. Other OJJDP initiatives to deter school crime, such as funding for alternative education, are outlined. No references are included.
