Excerpt
Excerpt: I am pleased to present the FY 1995 Program Announcement and Application Kit, which contains the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Discretionary Program Plan for FY 1995. BJA assists States and local jurisdictions through the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program. Through the Byrne Discretionary Grant Program, BJA provides leadership for the prevention and control of crime and violence and for criminal justice system improvement at the State and local levels. BJA also develops and tests new approaches in criminal justice and crime control and encourages replication of effective programs and practices by State and local agencies. This year, BJA?s plan focuses primarily on demonstration programs of national scope. These programs support two goals: to assist States and local units of government in reducing and preventing crime, violence, and drug abuse and to improve the criminal justice system. To meet these goals, BJA will work with communities to develop comprehensive strategies and expansive, problem-solving partnerships. Special emphasis is placed on anti-violence initiatives, particularly those dedicated to reducing the availability of illegal firearms and to providing young people with alternatives to gangs and criminal involvement. Additionally, BJA will continue to work in partnership with State and local law enforcement and the United States Attorneys to improve the adjudication process; to assist States in alleviating prison overcrowding by fostering corrections options programs; and to focus resources on the evaluation of promising programs and on dissemination of information about these programs to the field.
