Drug control and criminal justice system improvement activities are discussed.
Abstract
This report describes the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA) drug control and criminal justice system improvement activities during fiscal year 1992. Progress toward implementing Congressional mandates and recommendations in the National Drug Control Strategy are described through summaries of BJA's discretionary and other categorical programs, as well as through examples of programs implemented by the States with formula grant funds. This report also discusses activities which will facilitate implementation of a number of the priorities, such as boot camps, community-oriented policing, and law enforcement training. Model programs and training curricula have been developed for several of these programs. This report begins with a brief look at the highlights of program activities, providing a general discussion of program priorities and their implementation. This discussion is followed by chapters describing both discretionary and formula grant activities in each of the major priority areas. Three appendixes include a list of awards for Discretionary Grant Programs; the allocation of formula grant funds to the States; and a State-by-State allocation of funds among the 21 authorized purpose areas.
