On the other hand, youth now face new hazards, most unimaginable even a generation ago. Consider the statistics: Every day, 2,833 children drop out of school.

Extractions: By Ish Theilheimer, with files from Murray Angus Despite a hellishly warm climate, a small but articulate movement is starting to snowball in communities across Canada. The climate is public concern over youth crime. You don't need a pollster to know that one of the "hot buttons" for widespread public insecurity is youth crime. Public panic grows as headlines report sensational crimes. Despite this harsh climate, there is growing support for youth crime remedies that focus not on punishment and reprisal but on the root causes of crime. A lot of people believe we need to "get tough with young people," says Memorial University of Newfoundland Professor Joan Pennell. She is a member of the National Crime Prevention Council, a federally mandated commission that has made headlines by calling for stronger and better-funded social programs to prevent crime. Throughout her career, Dr. Pennell has helped remote and Aboriginal communities research and act on solutions to crime and violence. " 'Getting tough' means locking young people up, and when you lock them up, you disrupt all the more their position in the community." When they are released, many offend again. "This approach hasn't decreased criminal activity." "Panic breeds bad social policy," says Barb Hill of the John Howard Society in Kingston. Her organization works to help offenders rehabilitate themselves and to reform the justice system.

Extractions: Crime Prevention Award Guidelines for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts The Boy Scouts of Americas Crime Prevention Program assists neighborhoods and communities in their efforts to prevent crime. When working on crime prevention with youth, help them learn the importance of the following: Settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons. Do not stand around and watch while others are arguing; violence often spreads into groups of bystanders. Learn safe routes and good places to find help in the neighborhood. Trust your feelings; if you sense danger, get away fast. Report any crimes or suspicious actions or individuals to the police, school authorities, or parents. Do not open the door to anyone you do not know and trust. Never go anywhere with someone you do not know and trust. Whenever you leave home, tell parents, relatives, or other responsible adults where you are going, who you will be with, and when you expect to be home. Do not use alcohol or other drugs.
Extractions: Prepared for the Crime Prevention Alliance by Ingrid Palmary Paper presented at the Alliance for Crime Prevention Conference, Cape Town, 2 December 2003. Ingrid Palmary is a former Researcher in the City Safety Project at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation. Youth have occupied a central position in current debates on crime and violence in South Africa. Discussions about youth crime as well as youth victimisation have been highly emotionally charged and often simplistically framed as being a result of poor parenting, poverty HIV or other challenges. This paper aims to highlight the existing knowledge about youth crime and victimisation and some of the risk and resilience factors that point us to various interventions to reduce youth crime and violence. Some of these programmes (especially those that exist in South Africa) will be discussed and current government and NGO activities as well as gaps in crime prevention will be elaborated. The definition of youth is seldom agreed upon. Official policy states that youth are between the ages of 14-35. However, this is a very diverse range of ages and certainly the factors that predict crime and the interventions that reduce it are likely to vary within this age. For the purposes of this paper it is also important that children below 14 years are included as a large number of the most successful primary crime prevention projects are implemented with this age group. We will therefore include all people below the age of 25 in this paper as this is the age group most likely to be involved in crime as well as the age group that many of the successful interventions have targeted. Where relevant, the specific age group that an intervention, risk factor or policy refers to will be specified.

Extractions: Building Block Awards Teresa S. Ruhland Youth Award is presented annually to a volunteer who does an outstanding job involving young people in block club activities in the City of Minneapolis. This award is named in memory of Teresa Sheehy Ruhland, an outstanding, visionary employee with the Police Department's Community Crime Prevention/SAFE unit. A mother of three young children, Ruhland focused her gaze on the future generations in our city. She started with CCP/SAFE as an intern, was hired permanently as a crime prevention specialist, and then was promoted to supervisor and ultimately manager. She gave much to the City, including the major role she played in developing a process for notifying the public when sex offenders move into their neighborhoods. Many Minneapolis residents had the good fortune to work with Teresa over the years in one of her many capacities. Theresa died in May of 2000. How to submit a nomination

Extractions: In 1996, about 4.9 % of youth aged 12-17 were charged with Criminal Code offences. Since the 1984 Act, youths apprehended by the police are far more likely to be referred to the courts. While falling 3.6 % in 1996, Criminal Code offences by youth remain 9 % higher than in 1991 and 121 % higher than in 1986. Youth crimes are predominately committed by males, who accounted for 80 % of the youth court caseload in 1996. The percentage of female offenders before the courts has risen from 18 % in 1992-93 to 20 % in 1995-96. Most crimes committed by youth are not violent. While the number of violent offences is small compared to other offences, the proportion of violent crime has been increasing, largely due to an increase in minor assaults. There was, however, a decline in violent crime by youth in 1996. A recent Calgary study revealed that although persistent offenders represented only 3.2 % of the total number of young offenders, they were involved in 14.1 % of criminal occurrences.
