N2  - In 1992, the Department of Juvenile Justice in Maryland developed a task force to assess the needs of female offenders in the juvenile justice system. The female population in Maryland at the time was growing, and State programming for females included little other than commitment to either short-term residential group homes or Maryland’s one long-term secure residential program. The task force recommended that a gender-specific program be developed for girls in Baltimore City, which at the time was the largest jurisdiction in the State of Maryland. Thus, the Female Intervention Team (FIT) was born.<p />
