Juvenile Grant Planning and Review Council Annual Report 2018-2019
The annual report outlines the activities and priorities of the Juvenile Grant Planning and Review Council, functioning as Maryland's State Advisory Group. Key areas of focus include compliance with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, particularly the four core protections: deinstitutionalization of status offenders, sight and sound separation, removal of juveniles from adult jails, and reduction of disproportionate minority contact. The council's priorities for the next three years include aftercare and reentry programs, juvenile justice system improvement, delinquency prevention, and community-based programs and services. The report also details the council's subcommittees, grant monitoring activities, and plans for compliance with core protections and disproportionate minority contact requirements.
