The BSA Crime Prevention Program The Boy Scouts of America s crime prevention Program assists neighborhoods and communities in their youth Resources Fighting crime in the Community http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/crime-prevention.html
Extractions: In October 1996, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) with support from the National Crime Prevention Council launched a Crime Prevention Program and Merit Badge . The new program serves as the cornerstone of a comprehensive initiative emphasizing parent-child communication in teaching self-protection skills; collaboration with national, state, and local nforcement organizations; and grassroots activities such as parent nights organized by local packs, troops, and posts. To earn the crime prevention badge, young people in Scouting programs Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and Learning for Life learn about crime prevention and then plan and execute a crime prevention project in their home and community, often guided by a law enforcement officer. BSA reports that in less than one year, approximately half the local councils held crime prevention kick-off events that resulted in 292,950 youths participating in community and family crime prevention projects. The BSA projects that 1997 will be the year that nearly every council in the United States will kick off a crime prevention program. Roughly 83 percent of the councils received no special funding for their crime prevention initiatives; those groups that did have extra funding typically received it from foundations and law enforcement agencies.

PAST EPISODES Juvenile Intervention Program View episode When kids get in trouble, most of us would prefer that we figure out how to help them turn their life around rather than seeing them end up in the Juvenile Justice System. This show showcases a solution for keeping kids out of jail that is working in a number of communities. In this edition of Communities in Action, Host, Val Thomas-Matson talks with Captain Henry Simon, Bothell Police, who created collaboration between police, service agencies and the community called the Juvenile Intervention Program (JIP). The goals of the program are to help troubled youth and their families before the youth enter the juvenile justice system and to conserve precious resources, such as time and money. In 1999, KCCOP was awarded a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The Juvenile Intervention Program (JIP) was one of five funding recipients due to its proven cost saving prevention.

Extractions: Crime Prevention Programs A.C.T. (Abolish Chronic Truancy) places prosecutors in the schools to work with administrators, teachers, parents and students to intervene at the very beginning of the truancy cycle. The A.C.T. program started in 1991 in one school in South Central Los Angeles. In 1993, the program became fully implemented with the assignment of three attorneys to the program on a full time basis. There are currently 343 schools in 36 school districts involved with the A.C.T. program in Los Angeles County. The Bad Check Program tracks down bad check writers, returns the money to the victims, and deters future offenses through a diversion program and possible criminal prosecution. Aside from benefiting merchants and consumers, this program is designed to remove some of the load from overburdened local police. Courageous Citizens Awards Program Domestic Violence Hotline ) - In November of 1994, the District Attorney established the Los Angeles County Domestic Violence Hotline to help victims find a safe way out of their abusive environments. Callers to the hotline are routed directly to trained shelter personnel with a choice of eleven languages. Environmental Scholarship Programs - As the result of the prosecution and settlement of a major environmental crime case, a college scholarship fund was established at five high schools in the area affected by the crime. Graduating seniors attending Bell Gardens, El Rancho, Montebello, Pioneer, and Schurr High Schools are eligible for the scholarships, which are annually awarded to students who have demonstrated a serious interest or commitment to environmental issues during the course of their high school education. This interest can be demonstrated through achievements in science, social sciences, or community activities involving air pollution, waste disposal, recycling or environmental education. Scholarship funds have also been established at the Environmental Physical Sciences Magnet Center at Reseda High School and the Los Angeles Conservation Corps.

Extractions: By Hadielia Yassiri Most people would wince at this client list: street youth, drug addicts and teen prostitutes. But David Horricks and his team at Parkland Youth Homes, in Red Deer, Alta., look forward to meeting these youth every day. "We want street youth to know that we value them and that they are worthwhile individuals." Through the Street Ties project, Parkland Youth Homes aims to reduce the recruitment of street youth into the commercial sex trade through education and outreach service. In the third phase of the program, a street-front presence was established in downtown Red Deer, a city of 100,000. "The Street Ties project was initiated four years ago. In the program's various stages we study the scope and depth of street youth's involvement in prostitution, educate the community and assist youth who endeavour to leave the commercial sex trade and the street lifestyle," says Horricks, executive director of Parkland. "Being part of a transportation corridor between Calgary and Edmonton contributes to making Red Deer a sex trade recruitment corridor," he says.

Extractions: By Young People's Press The numbers tell the story: There is a link between childhood behavioural difficulties and involvement in criminal activity. "According to studies, 40 per cent of seven and eight-year-olds with severe behavioural difficulties become recidivist delinquents as teenagers, getting repeatedly arrested for criminal behaviour," says Jana Smith. Smith is the community mobilization coordinator at the Heart of the Northeast Community Solutions Resource Centre. Phase Two of the centre's Crime Prevention Through Community Planning project has received $32,700 in funding from the National Crime Prevention Centre. The second phase involves the development of a community-wide strategy to implement services and increase awareness of the correlation between behavioural problems and youth crime. The community mobilization initiative involves the joint efforts of many stakeholders committed to youth crime prevention through community-based initiatives. The program is a concerted effort of seven agencies, service providers and systems. It will be functional by mid-summer.

Extractions: In Ontario, 145 organizations have received $8,589,862 through the National Crime Prevention Strategy to support their efforts to tackle the root causes of crime and victimization. The National Strategy is a fundamental component of the Government of Canada's commitment to reduce crime and victimization and continue building a nation of safer homes and streets. It is part of a multi-faceted public safety agenda, led by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and the Solicitor General of Canada, that balances a vigorous response to crime with a determined attack on its root causes. The Strategy works together with citizens, communities, municipalities, all provincial and territorial governments as well as other partners. The Strategy is built on the common sense principle that the best way to reduce crime is to focus on the factors that put individuals at risk - factors such as family violence, school problems, and drug abuse. The National Strategy helps communities by providing the tools, knowledge and supports they need to deal with these factors.

Extractions: Billing Code 4510-30 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration ACTION : Notice inviting proposals for Youth Offender demonstration projects. SUMMARY : This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms to apply for grant funding. The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration is authorized to award grants to provide services aimed at youth who are or have been under criminal justice supervision or involved in gangs. In setting aside these funds, Congress noted "the severe problems facing out-of-school youth in communities with high-poverty and unemployment and the inter-relatedness of poverty, juvenile crime, child abuse and neglect, school failure, and teen pregnancy." The Department of Labor (DOL) has worked with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in the Department of Justice (DOJ) in deciding to use these funds for three categories of projects to serve youth offenders. They are, I. Model Community Projects; II. Education and Training for Youth Offenders Initiatives; and III. Community-Wide Coordination Projects. All proposals must by submitted by the Service Delivery Area (SDA). Applicants can only apply under one of these categories which must be clearly identified on the face sheet of the application.
OFF BALANCE: Youth, Race & Crime In The News Despite sharp declines in youth crime, the public expresses great fear of its own young people. Does the story lend itself to a crime prevention effort? http://www.buildingblocksforyouth.org/media/media.html
Extractions: April 2001 Download the printable version of this report In January 2000, the Building Blocks for Youth initiative issued its first report, The Color of Justice , which found that youth of color in California were more than eight times as likely to be incarcerated by adult courts as White youth for equally serious crimes. Building Blocks And Justice for Some , reported that youth of color are treated more severely than White youth at each stage of the justice system, even when charged with the same offenses. In October, 2000, Building Blocks Youth Crime, Adult Time , an in-depth study of youth prosecuted as adults in 18 of the largest jurisdictions in the country, found racial disparities similar to the earlier reports, and raised serious concerns about the fairness and appropriateness of the process. In a seminal meta-analysis conducted by researchers Carl Pope and Richard Feyerherm, two-thirds of the carefully constructed studies of state and local juvenile justice systems they analyzed found that there was a "race effect" at some stage of the juvenile justice process that affected outcomes for minorities for the worse. Their research suggested that "the effects of race may be felt at various decision points, they may be direct or indirect, and they may accumulate as youth continue through the system." They suggest that the race effect in the juvenile justice system may be more common than in the adult system.

Extractions: A Parent's Guide to Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention A "how-to" for parents who want to get involved in alcohol and other drug use prevention for children, within their own community HOW THE PARENTS' MOVEMENT BEGAN In 1976, a backyard birthday party turned into a backyard marijuana and alcohol party. Stunned by the realization that their 13-year-old daughter and her 12 to 14-year-old friends were drinking and smoking pot, the parents began their own investigation. They invited other parents to a meeting, decided on a set of rules for their teens, and the national parent movement began. The availability of alcohol and other drugs for our young people is frightening. No parent can assume that their child will never try alcohol or other drugs. What can you, as a concerned parent and community member do? What You Can Do 1. First, talk with your own child. National Crime Prevention Council's brochure "Talking With Your Kids About Drugs" gives specifics for one on one conversations with your children. This brochure is designed to give you an idea of the larger picture, and what you can do to help. Plenty of other resources exist, and some are listed at the end of this brochure.
