§12141 — Title 34 Navy | U.S. Code

Summary

The Attorney General can give grants to no more than 15 areas with long-term, intense crime problems to create model crime-prevention programs. These programs must bring together many community resources — like nonprofits, police, and state and federal agencies (including state education agencies) — work to reduce the conditions that lead to crime, and offer real, lasting alternatives to joining crime. The Attorney General may consult the Ounce of Prevention Council. When picking projects, the Attorney General must favor plans that are new or creative, use different approaches so the models can be compared, and link with other federal programs to meet community needs.
