offenses, the ability of both state and tribal systems to respond to status offenses, and federal funding levels to support efforts to better serve these youth. The Tribal Youth Program (TYP) is managed and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The Tribal Youth Program is part of the Indian Country Law Enforcement Initiative, a joint initiative of the U.S. Departments of Justice and the Interior to improve law enforcement and juvenile justice in Indian Country. OJJDP’s Tribal Youth Initiatives Bulletin describes the efforts of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to assist tribal communities through such initiatives as the Tribal Youth Program, the Tribal Youth Program Mental Health Project, the Comprehensive Indian Resources for Community and Law Enforcement (CIRCLE) Project, training and technical assistance, and research and evaluation.

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. NCJ 184747. American Indian/Alaska Native Youth Publications Youth Gangs in Indian Country describes the nature and makeup of youth gangs in Indian Country by drawing on research findings from a survey conducted by the National Youth Gang Center (NYGC). This Bulletin presents data regarding the presence and effect of youth gang activity in Indian Country and provides an overview of programmatic responses to the problem. To better understand the gang problem in Indian Country, the Bulletin compares data from NYGC’s 2000 Survey of Youth Gangs in Indian Country with data from a national sample of survey respondents and from a field study of gangs in the Navajo Nation. Drawing on these research findings, the Bulletin proposes proven prevention, intervention, and suppression strategies to address the problem of youth gangs in Indian Country. Building Culturally Relevant Youth Courts in Tribal Communities by American Indian Development Associates draws on the ideas and expertise of many who work in youth courts throughout the United States, as well as on the experience of staff at the National Youth Court Center at the American Probation and Parole Association who have researched and worked with youth courts on a national level for more than ten years. Collaboration and Resource Sharing to Improve Services to Indian Youth by American Indian Development Associates highlights successful resource sharing strategies that represents commitment to something larger than the single focused organizational goals and objectives and a shift to enter into relationships with other agencies to achieve shared goals, visions and responses to mutual interest and obligations.
