It outlines the purpose, goals, theoretical framework, and program design for the Violent Juvenile Offender Initiative and provides an overview of the training and technical assistance design, which is intended to assist selected groups in planning and implementing local projects in accord with the national program design. Activities of the training and technical assistance work plan are detailed.
