Description
WHO WE ARE
The National Gang Center (NGC) is a project funded by the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the Office of Justice Programs
(OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The NGC is an integral component of the
Justice Department’s mission to provide innovative leadership in coordination
with federal, state, local, and tribal justice systems to prevent and reduce
crime. The NGC disseminates information, knowledge, and outcome‐driven practices
that engage and empower those in local communities with chronic and emerging
gang problems to create comprehensive solutions to prevent gang violence, reduce
gang involvement, and suppress gang‐related crime.
FOCUS AREAS
HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL GANG CENTER
As a means to strengthen communities’ abilities to address youth gang
involvement, OJJDP launched the National Youth Gang Center NYGC in 1995. In
2003, BJA launched the NGC to provide law enforcement with specialized training
for countering street gang crime. In October 2009, the NYGC merged with the NGC.
This unification signified a recognition that street gang activities transcend
ages of the members and that a balanced, comprehensive approach is needed to
reduce gang involvement and levels of gang crime. Consolidation of the centers
has leveraged resources and resulted in a single, more efficient entity,
responsive to the needs of criminal and juvenile justice professionals, law
enforcement, youth‐and community‐serving practitioners, researchers, and the
public.
