    Summary

    The OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model is an evidence-based framework for the coordination of multiple strategies to address serious, violent, and entrenched youth street gang problems. The model combines prevention, intervention, and suppression tactics to address the root causes of criminal gang activity within a community. OJJDP expects applicants for funding under this solicitation to develop program activities based on the core strategies of the Comprehensive Gang Model as outlined below.


    This solicitation contains two categories: (1) Intervention and (2) Suppression. Details for each category are provided below.

    • Category 1: Intervention. OJJDP-2020-17171 This category supports intervention strategies that can dissuade youth from joining gangs and help them discontinue their involvement in gangs. Proposed strategies should build upon the principles of the following core strategies in the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model:
      • Community Mobilization.
      • Opportunities Provision.
      • Social Intervention.
    • Category 2: Suppression. OJJDP-2020-17172 This category supports focused deterrence and suppression strategies aimed at preventing and reducing youth gang violence. Applicant organizations are encouraged to develop and implement a variety of suppression strategies aligned with the principles of the Suppression core strategy in the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model. 

    The goal of this solicitation is to prevent and reduce youth gang involvement and youth gang violence. Overarching objectives and deliverables include:

    • Reduce and sustain reductions in community youth violence, particularly gun and gang violence, and victimization.
    • Prevent violence and promote healing from victimization and exposure to violence.
    • Convene a task force or working group (this may be an existing group) that meets regularly throughout the project period to identify and address service gaps and barriers, and use funding for a wide variety of intervention and suppression strategies targeting youth who are in a gang or at risk of joining a gang.
