A NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR COMMUNITY-BASED PREVENTION OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, SPONSORED BY THE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ADMINISTRATION.
Abstract
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STRATEGY IS THROUGH YOUTH SERVICE SYSTEMS, CHARACTERIZED BY INTEGRATED SERVICES, JOINT FUNDING, ADAPTABILITY, SCOPE OF SERVICES TO REACH ALL YOUTH WITHIN AN AREA, MULTIGOVERNMENTAL PARTICIPATION, GREATER CAPACITY FOR EVALUATION AND TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE, AND YOUTH INVOLVEMENT. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVIES ARE TO (1) PROVIDE MORE MEANINGFUL ROLES FOR YOUTH, (2) DIVERT YOUTH AWAY FROM JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS INTO ALTERNATE PROGRAMS, (3) REDUCE NEGATIVE LABELING, (4) REDUCE YOUTH-ADULT ALIENATION.
