Sec. 13862. Use of funds

    Grants made by the Attorney General under this section shall be 
used--
        (1) to fund programs that require the cooperation and 
    coordination of prosecutors, school officials, police, probation 
    officers, youth and social service professionals, and community 
    members in the effort to reduce the incidence of, and increase the 
    successful identification and speed of prosecution of, young violent 
    offenders;
        (2) to fund programs in which prosecutors focus on the offender, 
    not simply the specific offense, and impose individualized 
    sanctions, designed to deter that offender from further antisocial 
    conduct, and impose increasingly serious sanctions on a young 
    offender who continues to commit offenses;
        (3) to fund programs that coordinate criminal justice resources 
    with educational, social service, and community resources to develop 
    and deliver violence prevention programs, including mediation and 
    other conflict resolution methods, treatment, counseling, 
    educational, and recreational programs that create alternatives to 
    criminal activity; and
        (4) in rural States (as defined in section 3796bb(b) of this 
    title), to fund cooperative efforts between State and local 
    prosecutors, victim advocacy and assistance groups, social and 
    community service providers, and law enforcement agencies to 
    investigate and prosecute child abuse cases, treat youthful victims 
    of child abuse, and work in cooperation with the community to 
    develop education and prevention strategies directed toward the 
    issues with which such entities are concerned.
