In addition, the Partnership programs' goals also are to increase the range of sanctions for juveniles adjudicated delinquent; reduce overcrowding in state juvenile institutions and other facilities to ensure adequate bed space for serious, violent and repetitive offenders; reduce overcrowding in county detention facilities; provide greater access to community-based sanctions and services for minority and female offenders; expand programs designed to prevent juvenile delinquency; and promote public safety by reducing recidivism. Each county receives funds for program management and for program services. These funds are determined by a formula allocation. Applications are reviewed and scored by Juvenile Justice Commission staff.
