The juvenile justice programs account in the Office of Justice Programs. The paragraph divides the $375,000,000 among named programs, beginning with $65,000,000 for programs authorized by section 221 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974.

That sentence, in plain words

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
