The significant programs and activities of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and its components are described for the period from October 1, 1989 to September 30, 1990.
Abstract
For the past six years, OJP has worked to form partnerships among Federal, State, and local government officials to control drug abuse and trafficking, improve the administration of justice, meet the needs of crime victims, and find innovative ways to address problems such as gang violence, prison crowding, juvenile crime, and white-collar crime. During 1990, OJP and its components worked to ensure that programs reflected the priorities set by the President and Attorney General particularly those outlined in the National Drug Control Strategy. In addition, for the first time, OJP produced a single program plan document containing anticipated activities for all the Bureaus for a given fiscal year. This unified planning effort resulted in doubling the amount of competition in the major drug control program from the previous year and promoting program coordination among other Federal drug control agencies. A report of the amount of grants awarded to each State during the fiscal year, and the evaluation results of programs and projects of each State's implementation of its statewide drug control strategy is included.
