Introduced by: W. Henry Maxwell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Preventing Crime in Minority Communities Initiative Program and Fund. Creates the Preventing Crime in Minority Communities Initiative Program and Fund to provide for a multi-disciplinary network of persons and organizations with expertise, experience, and interest in preventing and reducing crime in the minority community. The Department of Criminal Justice Services will administer the Program and provide staff support for the advisory board. The Program consists of five projects located throughout the Commonwealth in minority communities with high crime rates and attendant social and economic problems. State-funded grants are to be awarded to eligible projects on a competitive basis through the issuance of a request for proposals. Such projects are required to engage in myriad activities and perform several tasks directed toward community involvement, consensus building, dispelling myths about minorities, and preventing and reducing crime in the minority community. Further, eligible projects must also promote the participation of and engage business and industry, minority community organizations and professional associations, the religious community, citizens, and local agencies in the community in fighting crime.
This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Status and Needs of African-American Males in Virginia.
