What services are supported in whole or in part by OJJDP’s grant funds? Select all that apply.

  • Code: Q1
  • Requirement: required
  • Definition: Answer options: o Community service o Crisis response o Cross-system coordination o Drug abuse counseling o Education services o Electronic monitoring o Employment services o Family counseling o Financial aid o House arrest o Legal advocacy o Mental health treatment o Parenting education o Probation o Referrals to community-based services o Restorative justice o Specialty courts o Substance use disorder treatment o Other, specify ____ Community service is court-ordered, unpaid work performed for non-profit organizations or public agencies, serving as an alternative to jail, a condition of probation, or part of a diversion program, allowing offenders to make amends, gain skills, and contribute positively to the community while staying in their homes and potentially employed. It involves completing a set number of hours (e.g., at food banks, parks, shelters, senior centers) and requires diligent record-keeping and court approval for the work done. Crisis response is a comprehensive, multi-component approach to behavioral health emergencies that provides alternatives to law enforcement response and jail. It involves the seamless integration of various services to ensure individuals receive appropriate, timely care, rather than being caught in the criminal justice system. Cross-system coordination is a collaborative approach that brings together different agencies—such as law enforcement, behavioral health, housing, education, and social services—to address the root causes of criminal behavior rather than relying solely on detention. It aims to reduce the use of jails and improve outcomes for individuals, particularly those with mental health needs, by providing a "no-wrong-door" approach to services. Drug abuse counseling is a behavioral treatment approach that aims to assist individuals with substance use disorders by providing support and strategies to manage their addiction, often in conjunction with other therapeutic methods. Education services provide academic and vocational training to prepare individuals for a successful return to the community, aiming to reduce recidivism by fostering practical skills and facilitating access to post-program opportunities. Electronic monitoring is a technology-based incarceration alternative that uses devices like GPS ankle bracelets or smartphone apps to track and constrain individuals in the community, enforcing curfews, restricted zones, or sobriety, instead of traditional jail or prison time. Employment services provide essential job-related support to individuals to help them find stable employment. Services might include skills training in areas like career readiness, specific trades, job search assistance such as resume building, interview coaching, and job placement services to connect youth with employers. Programs also might offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. Family counseling as an incarceration alternative uses therapy to address underlying family issues, improving communication and behaviors to reduce recidivism by treating the family unit, not just the individual offender. Counseling often focuses on dysfunctional patterns, mental health, or substance abuse to build healthier dynamics and prevent future crimes. Financial aid refers to funding designed to help individuals who have come in contact with the justice system to pay for higher education or vocational training. House arrest is a court-ordered form of detention that allows a parent to serve their time at an approved residence with their children, rather than in prison. It functions as an intermediate sanction designed to keep families together while maintaining supervision of the offender and safety in the community. House arrest is usually reserved for low-risk, nonviolent, or first-time offenders. Legal advocacy refers to the specialized support, representation, and guidance provided to individuals to help them navigate non-adversarial processes, uphold their rights, and achieve outcomes focused on rehabilitation and reparation rather than solely punishment. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues, including psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes, often in conjunction for a more effective recovery plan. Parenting education offers structured programs for parents, teaching crucial skills like communication, child development, and non-violent discipline, while also addressing trauma, substance abuse, and other challenges, aiming to strengthen family bonds, improve child outcomes, and break cycles of negative behavior by preparing parents for positive family change and community engagement. Probation is a court-ordered alternative to jail or prison, allowing a convicted person to serve their sentence in the community under the supervision of a probation officer, adhering to strict rules like regular check-ins, treatment programs, community service, and maintaining employment, with the goal of rehabilitation and public safety. Referrals to community-based services are intended to assist parents or caregivers in obtaining community resources, such as health care, mental health care, employability development and job training, and other social services. Restorative justice is an approach focused on repairing harm, acting as an incarceration alternative by bringing victims, offenders, and community members together in facilitated dialogues to address a crime's impact, foster accountability, facilitate healing, and build community. It emphasizes victims' needs and offender responsibility. Specialty courts, or problem-solving courts, divert offenders with specific needs (like substance abuse, mental health, or trauma) into treatment and rehabilitation programs, rather than traditional punishment, using a collaborative team (judge, treatment providers, etc.) to address root causes and reduce recidivism through monitoring, incentives, and sanctions. Common types of specialty courts include Drug Courts, Mental Health Courts, Veterans Courts, and Domestic Violence Courts. Substance use disorder treatment usually offers individual, group, or family therapy sessions and typically focuses on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free, and preventing relapse.

  • Definition: Answer options: o Substance use disorder treatment. o Mental health treatment. o Medical services. o Education services. o Employment services. o Housing assistance. o Mentoring. o Trauma-informed services. o Life skills. o Referrals to community-based services. o Other, specify ____ o Cognitive behavioral therapies are therapeutic approaches used to reduce recidivism by changing the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to delinquent activity. Substance use disorder treatment usually offer individual, group or family therapy sessions and typically focus on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free and preventing relapse. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues, including psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes, often in a combination approach for a more effective recovery plan. Medical services provide healthcare access to youth, such as treatment for physical health or assistance with health coverage like Medicaid and promote overall health and reduce the risk of returning to the juvenile justice system by addressing health-related barriers to successful community reintegration. Education services provide academic and vocational training to prepare youth for a successful return to the community, aiming to reduce recidivism by fostering practical skills and facilitating access to post-confinement opportunities. Employment services provide essential job-related support to justice-involved youth to help them successfully transition back to the community and find stable employment. Services might include skills training in areas like basic education, career readiness, and specific trades; job search assistance such as resume building and interview coaching; and job placement services to connect youth with employers. Programs also might offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. Housing assistance includes services such as transitional housing, help with security deposits and move-in costs, rental assistance, and case management to find stable, affordable accommodations. These services help young people transition into the community, providing a stable foundation to prevent homelessness and support successful reintegration. Mentoring provides structured relationships where individuals guide and support the personal growth of others. These services facilitate skill transfer, career development, and the building of confidence by fostering supportive, trusted relationships through which mentors share knowledge and insights to help mentees reach their full potential. Trauma-informed services rely on an understanding the physical, social, and emotional impact of trauma on the individual, as well as on professionals who help them. This understanding guides practices and services that promote recovery and healing for people in the justice system who have been impacted by trauma. Life skills services support youth in achieving and maintaining stability and avoiding future involvement in the juvenile justice system. Examples include interventions that help young people learn about communication, relationships with other people, team-working, problem-solving, self-regulation and self-management, and other abilities that support personal and academic or workplace success. Referrals to community-based services are intended to assist youth (and/or their families) in obtaining community resources, such as health care, mental health care, employability development and job training, and other social services.

Recovery support services include a wide variety of non-clinical services designed to assist individuals in their recovery from substance use disorders and mental health issues. Substance use disorder treatment aftercare usually offers individual, group, or family therapy sessions and typically focuses on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free, and preventing relapse. Employment services provide essential, job-related support to youth at risk or in the juvenile justice system. These services help youth successfully transition back to the community and find stable employment. Services might include skills training in areas like basic education, career readiness, and specific trades; job search assistance, such as resume building and interview coaching; and job placement services to connect youth with employers. Programs might also offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. Education services provide academic and vocational training to prepare youth for a successful return to the community, aiming to reduce recidivism by fostering practical skills and facilitating access to post-confinement opportunities. Housing assistance includes services such as transitional housing, help with security deposits and move-in costs, rental assistance, and case management to find stable, affordable accommodations. These services help young people transition into the community, provide a stable foundation to prevent homelessness, and support successful reintegration. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues. Strategies include psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes, often in a combination approach for a more effective recovery plan. Medical services provide healthcare access to youth—such as treatment for physical health or assistance with health coverage like Medicaid—and promote overall health and reduce the risk of returning to the juvenile justice system by addressing health-related barriers to successful community reintegration. Services can include medical or dental care. Trauma treatment involves a mental health treatment approach that recognizes the symptoms and root causes of trauma and provides a safe, supportive environment for the individual. These approaches can include various types of therapy including, but not limited to, Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools and Reprocessing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Mentoring provides structured relationships where individuals guide and support the personal growth of others. This can also include “Peer Support.” Family engagement refers to families actively participating in treatment efforts for the youth target population.

These may include early onset of aggressive behavior, severe family conflict, gang involvement, or shared characteristics with populations that have historically reoffended at higher rates. Medium risk refers to a young person showing some risk factors for delinquency such as truancy, inconsistent home life, or association with delinquent peers. These factors moderately increase the probability of offenses in the near future. Low risk refers to a young person who is unlikely to reoffend in the near future and is typically supported by strong community or family bonds, positive peer groups, and a lack of previous offenses.
