The Division of
Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning (CJJP) is established through
the provisions of Iowa Code Chapter 216A, Subchapter 9. CJJP is the
Iowa Statistical Analysis Center (SAC), a member of the Justice
Research and Statistics Association (JRSA), and carries out research,
policy analysis, program development and data analysis activities
to assist policy makers, justice system agencies and others to identify
issues of concern and to improve the operation and effectiveness of
Iowa's justice system. CJJP staff provide a justice system information
clearinghouse service to system officials and the general public.
CJJP also administers
federal and state grant programs to fund local and state projects
to prevent juvenile crime, provide services to juvenile offenders
and otherwise improve Iowa's juvenile justice system. Annually,
this funding is made available through competitive and allocation
grant application procedures.
CJJP carries
out its duties under the oversight of the Iowa Criminal and Juvenile
Justice Planning Advisory Council and the Iowa Juvenile Justice
Advisory Council. Administrative Rules governing CJJP operations
and grant programs can be found in Section 428 of the Iowa Administrative
Code.
