The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will make several grants to government and nonprofit programs that provide a “intervention and supervision services for youth with sexual behavior problems and treatment services for their child victims and families.”
Award recipients will target services for only youths who are 17 and under with sexual behavior problems. Youth participating in this program must undergo a mental health evaluation to determine if they are amenable to community-based treatment, and should have no prior history of court involvement for sexual misconduct.
