Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative (YCGII) was led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) during the late-1990s. The program aimed to increase firearm tracing of firearms recovered by law enforcement agencies, learn more about how juveniles and youth obtain firearms, and develop strategies to deal with problems involving illegally obtained firearms. The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative was established on July 8, 1996 by President Bill Clinton. The program was funded through support from the Department of the Treasury's Office of Enforcement and the National Institute of Justice. The initiative involved collaboration between local law enforcement agencies, local prosecutors, the United States Attorney's Offices, and the ATF, in tracing firearms recovered by law enforcement.
