of economic security, health, behavior and social environment,
and education. This year’s report has a special section
featuring decennial census data that portrays changes in the
lives of America’s children from 1990 to 2000 for all
States and the District of Columbia for nine indicators.

kids succeed in school and prepare for life. For over 25 years,
CIS has championed the connection of needed community resources
with schools. By bringing caring adults into the schools to
address children's unmet needs, CIS provides the link between
educators and the community. The result: Teachers are free
to teach, and students - many in jeopardy of dropping out
- finally have the opportunity to focus on learning.

V: Community Prevention Grants Program

"The Title V Community Prevention
Grants
Program—established in the 1992 reauthorization of the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of
1974—is a Federal grants program to fund collaborative,
community-based delinquency prevention efforts. The
Community Prevention Grants Program integrates six
fundamental principles—comprehensive and
multidisciplinary approaches, research foundation for
planning, community control and decisionmaking, leveraging
of resources and systems, evaluation to monitor program
progress and effectiveness, and a long-term
perspective—that combine to form a strategic approach
to
reducing juvenile delinquency. The program provides
communities with funding and a guiding framework for
developing and implementing comprehensive juvenile
delinquency prevention plans. The 3-year prevention plans
are designed to reduce risk factors associated with juvenile
delinquency and decrease the incidence of juvenile problem
behavior."
