JUVENILE JUSTICE ADVISORY COUNCIL

George B. Rasin, Jr., Chair, 1997

The Juvenile Justice Advisory Council was formed
in 1984 as an independent unit within the Depart-
ment of Health and Mental Hygiene (Executive Or-
der 01.01.1984.08). In 1987, the Council was placed
under the Juvenile Services Agency (Executive Order
01.01.1987.21). The Council became part of the
Governor's Office in 1988 (Executive Order
01.01.1988.01). As a subcommittee of the Gover-
nor's Advisory Board for Justice Administration, the
Council was reformed in 1992 (Executive Order
01.01.1992.02). In 1995, the Council was made part
of the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Pre-
vention (Executive Order 01.01.1995.18).

The Council advises the Governor and State
agencies on the juvenile justice system and preven-
tion of juvenile delinquency. The Council is also the
designated State agency to receive formula grant
funds under provisions of the federal Juvenile Jus-
tice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (P.L.
93-415), as amended by the Juvenile Justice
Amendments of 1992 (P.L. 102-586). In accord-
ance with the federal act, the Council develops an
annual plan, establishes grant procedures, and
awards grants to State and local government agen-
cies for projects that support juvenile justice and
prevent delinquency.

The Council consists of from fifteen to thirty-
three members appointed by the Governor to
three-year terms. The Governor names the chair.

The Law Enforcement Program administers
funding and provides technical support to pro-
grams for law enforcement and the prosecution and
adjudication of offenders. It assists projects, such as
community policing and alternatives to incarcera-
tion for nonviolent offenders, to improve the crimi-
nal justice system. Improvements may include the
use of electronic and other technology.

PREVENTION PROGRAM
Larry Dawson, Coordinator
(410) 321-3521

To prevent or reduce delinquency, the Preven-
tion Program administers funding and provides
technical support to programs and activities, espe-
cially after-school programs. Such programs offer
high-risk youth alternatives to crime and addiction.

VICTIM SERVICES & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
PROGRAM
Mary Pat Brygger, Coordinator
(410) 321-3521

The Victim Services and Domestic Violence Pro-
gram administers funding and provides technical sup-
port for efforts to improve the State's response to
crime victims and to domestic and family violence.

STATE BOARD OF VICTIM SERVICES

Chair: Roberta R. Roper, designee of Governor

The State Board of Victim Services was created within
the Office of the Attorney General in 1988 (Chapter
256, Acts of 1988). Reorganized in 1992, the Board was
transferred to the Office of Justice Administration
(Chapter 270, Acts of 1992). In 1995, the Board became
part of the Governor's Office of Crime Control and
Prevention (Executive Order 01.01.1995.18)
The Board advises the Governor on services
needed by victims of crime. The Board also reviews
the plans and annual reports of the Victim Services
Coordinator as well as the implementation, opera-
tion, and revision of programs by the Coordinator.
The Board has seventeen members. The Governor
appoints nine members who serve five-year terms. The
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals names a member
of the Judiciary to a five-year term. Five members serve
ex officio. The Governor or Governor's designee
serves as chair. The Victim Services Coordinator is
chosen by the Executive Director of the Governor's
Office of Crime Control and Prevention (Code State
Government Article, secs. 9-1701 through 9-1708).
