(4) programs to improve the recruitment, selection, training, and retention of professionals working in juvenile delinquency prevention programs; and
(5) the identification of racial and ethnic disparities among juveniles in the juvenile justice system.
Authorizes the Administrator to make incentive grants to state and local governments for juvenile delinquency prevention programs, including evidence based programs for the prevention and reduction of juvenile delinquency, personnel recruitment and training, and mental health and substance abuse screening and treatment.
Includes mentoring programs as a permissible grant purpose under the Incentive Grant Program for Local Delinquency Prevention. Reauthorizes such grant program through FY2013.
