Issue One-Pagers

State and local governments use funding from the Byrne/JAG grant program to deal with some of the nation's most pressing criminal justice issues. To illustrate the importance of this grant program NCJA has developed a series of issue papers describing how states have led the nation in developing solutions to national criminal justice problems, like methamphetmine use/abuse; combating gangs; offender reentry; and sex offender management using these Byrne/JAG funds. In addition, these funds have been crucial to the development and implementation of multi-jurisdictional task forces and criminal justice information sharing projects.

NCJA members distributed these one-pagers to Congressional staffers on our annual Hill Day. We encourage you to use this information in your own advocacy and educational efforts as well. In addition, please continue to send us examples of how your states are using Byrne/JAG money to address these important issues.
