The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) launched the first national research and demonstration
program to implement Performance-Based Standards Program for
Juvenile Confinement Facilities in 1998. The goal of the program
is to demonstrate performance-based standards as a useful
tool for improving confinement conditions and treatment services
for juvenile offenders. Implementation will include: training
facility teams in the concepts of the program, implementation
and refinement of data collection standards and protocols;
the development and application of related technology and
other technical assistance support; and the development of
a strategy for national institutionalization of the performance
standards implementation process.
The goals of
the national evaluation are to provide an objective assessment
of the efficacy of the program model for building the capacity
for self-generated improvements in conditions of confinement
for juveniles.
