This 1997 report outlines, coordinated intra- and interagency efforts are underway in OJP and across the country to enhance the personal safety of all family members, especially women and children. An example of this type of collaborative initiative is a program called "Safe Kids - Safe Streets." Based on the premise that there is a strong relationship between child abuse and neglect and subsequent juvenile delinquency, this OJP-sponsored project seeks to break the cycle of child and adolescent abuse and neglect by encouraging jurisdictions to structure and strengthen the criminal and juvenile justice systems to be more comprehensive and proactive in helping children and adolescents. The effort is being funded jointly by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Executive Office for Weed and Seed, and the Violence Against Women Grants Office, with additional support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office for Victims of Crime.
