Extractions: Online Government of Canada National Crime Prevention Strategy database of funded projects in crime prevention - particularly intervention for youth, women, aboriginal and other at-risk groups. Over 1600 projects listed. Database searchable by region, emphasis and type. Website Content Language: English The Department of Justice Canada argues in particular the value of arts and recreation groups in youth intervention: "Arts and recreation activities represent a key element in the social development of all children and youth. Participation in sport, artistic and cultural activities can strengthen a young person's sense of pride and achievement, contributing to increased self-esteem; and fosters a sense of belonging in the community, which can discourage a young person from lashing out against it. It further offers an opportunity to develop skills and gain experience. Sport, in particular, is associated with a wide range of health benefits... Studies show that children and youth at risk currently take part in arts and recreation activities less often than other children. A growing body of research supports the idea that participation in arts and recreation reduces the risk that a young person will offend or re-offend (Dept. of Justice website)."

Town Centre Evacuation Scheme Young people in Croydon are getting first hand experience of what to do in dangerous situations through the Young Citizens Scheme, teaching them how to look after themselves and behave responsibly, through controlled simulations of real life situations. Young people are split into groups and presented with ten different simulations of dangerous scenarios. Each scenario is designed to simulate a real life scenario in which they could find themselves having to make life-saving decisions. A different partner organisation taking part in the scheme has set up each scenario. These scenarios can range from dealing with a fire in the home, how to make an emergency call, investigating how to use roads safely, personal safety including dangers of strangers and mobile phone theft, safety in the home, electrical safety, using buses and trams safely and understanding the dangers of drugs. The Young Citizen Scheme is a practical way of teaching and testing young people to cope with everyday dangers safely and effectively. Simulated situations are developed to bring potential hazards to life, allowing children to recognise and deal with danger in a realistic way

Site Map Youth Treatment Services (YTS) Youth Development and Crime Prevention Initiative Annual Report January 21, 2003 Summary The California Health and Human Services Agency in collaboration with the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, Department of Mental Health, and the Employment Development Department, released a Solicitation for Proposals (SFP) in September 2000 for the Youth Development and Crime Prevention (YDCP) Initiative. The seven counties selected for funding are Butte, Mendocino, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Stanislaus. The projects are funded by grants provided by the three participating departments providing a total of $5 million annually. Counties are demonstrating an innovative system of coordinated and comprehensive services for youth engaged in, or at high risk of, committing juvenile crime. The model is based on youth development principles of supports, opportunities, and an array of developmentally appropriate services for youth. These include mental health and substance abuse treatment; tutoring and after-school activities; job development and employment; mentoring; problem solving and skill building; and community involvement. Counties faced implementation barriers that included a program redesign due to a shift in state funding; lengthy board of supervisors' approval, county contracting, and hiring processes; and duplication of effort and differing philosophies among agencies and systems. This resulted in late start-up for some of the counties, but now all demonstration projects are well underway.
Extractions: PROGRAMS Professional Counseling Children's Emergency Services Community Education ... IN THE NEWS are community-based programs that assist parents, schools and the court in their efforts to rehabilitate youthful offenders. Services include comprehensive assessments, intensive supervision for youth on parole or probation and mental health treatment for behavioral issues such as substance abuse, family conflicts or anti-social behavior. Community Based Evaluation Heartland Family Service professional therapists assist juvenile court judges by evaluating youth who have committed juvenile crimes and providing recommendations regarding treatment and rehabilitation services. Our therapists interview the youth, his or her family and confer with the individuals and institutions that have become involved with the youth. The youth receives medical, psychological and substance abuse evaluations. A multi-disciplinary report is assembled that includes recommendations from all disciplines. The therapist then recommends to the judge appropriate community resources available to the child and his or her family. Community Based Evaluations continue to have a positive impact in the community because the parents, the youth and the therapist all work together as a team to come up with the best solution for each individual family. Referrals are made through the juvenile court. Minor in Possession (MIP) Class Tracker Services This Tracker program monitors youth on probation or parole and assists them in following through with the recommendations of the court. The staff monitors the youth's compliance with school attendance, curfew, employment, counseling and drug and alcohol restrictions in order to reduce the need for detention. This intensive supervision allows the youth to stay at home and at school, where influential people can help him or her learn more socially acceptable behaviors. In addition, staff also serve as an advocate to help youth reduce risks to themselves and others, and to help them develop a more positive lifestyle through healthy activities including community service. Services and procedures are slightly different in Iowa and Nebraska. Referrals are through the Office of Juvenile Services and the Juvenile Court.

Extractions: WINNIPEG, June 14, 2001 Ms. Anita Neville, MP for Winnipeg South Center, on behalf of the Honourable Anne McLellan, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Solicitor General of Canada, along with Marlene Viau, Chairperson of the National Committee to Reduce Auto Theft, today launched Project 6116 , an initiative to lower the incidence of auto theft in Canada. Through the National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention , the Government will award $137,998 to the National Committee for Project 6116 "Auto theft is a crime with many consequences, from loss of property to higher insurance premiums to the injuries and deaths that can occur in the commission of these crimes," said Ms. Neville. "It requires a determined response, and together with the National Committee to Reduce Auto Theft, we are taking an important step in making Canadians aware of the extent of the problem and how they can work to prevent it." "Innocent people like my brother, a Sudbury police officer killed as a result of a high-speed chase, lose their lives or are seriously injured each day as a result of this crime. Public perception is that this type of youth-related crime is merely an unfortunate "joyriding" incident. This perception must change. It is my opinion that it is time to re-think the term "joyriding" because it minimizes the seriousness of the offence and defiles the loss of life sustained as a result of this crime. Furthermore, this criminal activity can have a devastating impact on the youth that are involved in it," said Ms. Viau.
