| | About DMC: Overview |
 | | DMC was brought to national attention by the Coalition for Juvenile Justice (formerly the National Coalition of State Juvenile Justice Advisory Groups) in its 1988 annual report to Congress, A Delicate Balance. |
 | | Publication of an OJJDP Bulletin, DMC: Lessons Learned From Five States (Devine, Coolbaugh, and Jenkins, NCJ 173420): This Bulletin explains OJJDP's DMC initiative and describes how five pilot States (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, and Oregon) assessed the extent to which minority juveniles were disproportionately confined by their juvenile justice systems. |
 | | Eleven DMC discretionary grants were awarded (one program was given a 2-year grant), including research, TandTA, and demonstrations to test innovative interventions designed by States and local communities. |
