GRANTS MANAGEMENT
One of the CJCC's core functions, grants management, and administration, plays an integral role in both innovating criminal justice and empowering victims by administering competitive, formula, and state-funded criminal justice and victim services grants in the state of Georgia. Grant-funded programs include, but are not limited to, Juvenile Justice Incentive Grants, Accountability Courts, MultiJurisdictional Drug Task Forces, Domestic Violence Programs, Sexual Assault Centers, the Georgia Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force, Child Abuse Prevention Grants, Elder Abuse, Sexual Assault Response Teams, Court Appointed Special Advocates, and Child Advocacy Centers.
GEORGIA CRIME VICTIMS COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The CJCC's second core function, administration of the Crime Victims Emergency Fund, supports the Crime Victims Compensation Program (CVCP), Officers Initiative, Unclaimed Restitution, DUI Memorial Sign Program, Forensic Medical Examinations, and Forensic Interviews. Established by the State Legislature in 1988, the CVCP offers financial support to innocent victims of violent crimes and encourages greater victim participation in the criminal justice process.
THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CENTER
As part of CJCC, Georgia's Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) supports all the data collection and analysis for the Justice and Compliance Division and the Victim Assistance Division of the organization, in addition to conducting independent research and evaluation to help the state make data-driven policy decisions about criminal justice and victim services issues.
ADVISORY ROLE
CJCC is an Executive Branch Agency. Our agency also serves in an advisory capacity to the governor on issues impacting the criminal justice system.
