Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD)
Mark Zimmer
Chairman

The mission of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is to serve as a catalyst for the prevention and reduction of crime and delinquency and to enhance the quality of justice for all Pennsylvanians. The PCCD strives to effect improvements in the criminal and juvenile justice systems by examining problems, proposing solutions, and monitoring and evaluating the impact of those solutions. The PCCD assists the criminal justice systems to function more productively by fostering interagency coordination and cooperation; by developing and coordinating policy issues; by rendering training and technical assistance; and by granting funds to support system improvements. It provides statewide criminal statistical and analytical services; fosters community-based prevention initiatives; and assists victims of crime through support for direct services and by alleviating the financial burdens resulting from the commission of a crime.
