REPORT EXAMINES OPERATION OF NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY BASED YOUTH SERVICES PROGRAMS UNDER LEAA GRANT TO DETERMINE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS.

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AUDIT WAS TO DETERMINE THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS, TO DETERMINE THEIR COST, AND TO REVIEW THE OVERALL OPERATION OF THE LEAA GRANT AND TO OFFER OBSERVATIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FUTURE GRANTS. THE AUDITORS RECOMMENDED A STUDY OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY TO DETERMINE WHAT LEGAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO BETTER COORDINATE AMONG STATE AGENCIES THE HANDLING OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THEY FELT THAT SUCH A STUDY IS NEEDED BEFORE ADDITIONAL MONEY IS EXPENDED ON COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS...BS
