Institute for Intergovernmental Research site to expand and maintain the body of critical knowledge about youth gangs and effective responses to them. The Center assists state and local jurisdictions in the collection, analysis, and exchange of information on gang-related demographics, legislation, literature, research, and promising program strategies. It also coordinates activities of the OJJDP Youth Gang Consortium - a group of federal agencies, gang program representatives, and other service providers.
Since 1995, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP's) National Youth Gang Center has addressed issues involving juvenile gang members, featuring prevention and intervention efforts and promoting a comprehensive strategy to combat gangs. On October 1, 2009, the National Youth Gang Center will merge with the National Gang Center, currently funded by the Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance. The functions performed by the National Youth Gang Center will continue, but its incorporation into an expanded National Gang Center will leverage resources more efficiently, while enhancing OJJDP's response to the needs of researchers, practitioners, and the other concerned citizens.
