current issue archive / search contact Conference to honor Shaw's work on juvenile crime prevention "Shaw was both a great sociologist and a humanitarian," said Robert Sampson, Professor in Sociology. Sampson is an organizer of the conference, which is co-sponsored by the University and the Chicago Area Project, a program for juvenile crime prevention that Shaw founded in 1932. Sampson said Shaw is best known for two contributions to the study of delinquency: the use of autobiographical documentation as a source of data on life histories, and the study of multiple city neighborhoods to understand differences in social organization that lead to high rates of juvenile delinquency. The conference recognizes the 100th anniversary of Shaw's birth. Shaw received his B.A. from Adrian College and was a graduate student at the University from 1919 to 1924 while working at a Chicago settlement house and as a probation officer for the Cook County Juvenile Court. He later served as executive director of the Chicago Area Project until his death in 1957. The Chicago Area Project began with a focus on the city's three highest crime areas, establishing independent neighborhood organizations in those areas to combat juvenile delinquency. As executive director, Shaw expanded the program to include a broader range of city neighborhoods. The project's work continues today in neighborhoods throughout the city and suburbs.

63. Juvenile Crime prevention of juvenile crime and other problem behaviors manifested during Promising juvenile crime prevention strategies should be based on the http://www.ncja.org/policies/juvenile_crime.html

Issue Prevention of juvenile crime and other problem behaviors manifested during adolescence, such as alcohol and other drug use, dropping out of school, delinquency and violence is the responsibility of parents, education officials, community leaders and citizens in collaboration with state and local child/family serving systems. Parents and the community need to assume ownership of juvenile problem behaviors. State and local systems need to provide technical assistance and resources to enable parents/communities to successfully address these problems. Discussion Overall, the national history of supporting prevention strategies, which are measurable and offer long-term reductions in the onset and continuation of problem behaviors has been generally disappointing. Many government systems have devoted significant investment of public funds to support prevention efforts that have demonstrated marginal evidence of success. In recent years, however, much research has been done to determine what works in delinquency prevention and school violence reduction. This has led to more government funding for prevention programs with a proven record of decreasing the risk factors for delinquency and violence. We have reached a point where it is possible to quantify the cost of a non arrest. Effective utilization of information when designing community prevention efforts saves both lives and resources. Well-designed, science-based approaches, when properly implemented in communities in partnership with state and federal resources, can lead to long-term reductions in the onset and continuation of problem behaviors among adolescents, including crime and delinquency.

A good deal of our work is targeted to the state of California, and to the goal of building an adequate service network within the state for troubled children and their families. Origins of the Program: Developing Alternatives to the Incarceration of Children The Juvenile Justice Program began in 1982 with a critical examination of wards confined in the institutions of the California Youth Authority (CYA). With a grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Commonweal produced a series of books on the Youth Authority between 1982 and 1990. These books, authored by Steve Lerner and Paul and Anne Demuro, were critical of California's long-standing policy of packing juvenile offenders in large, overcrowded institutions where individualized treatment goals were difficult or impossible to meet. The publications also offered constructive policy options to the overcrowding of Youth Authority institutions. In the mid 1980s, Commonweal worked with other advocacy organizations to support the proposed removal of children from adult jails and prisons, and to bring California into compliance with federal juvenile justice policy on the commingling of children and adults in secure facilities. This effort, steered by current Program Director David Steinhart, led to landmark California juvenile justice legislation in 1986, (SB 1637, Presley) which placed limits on the jailing of children in adult facilities. In 1992, Commonweal also played a key role in drafting and implementing a short-term custody alternative program for the Youth Authority (LEAD) (SB 676, Presley).

Web Applications Best Practices Child/Youth Crime Prevention Child and adolescent crime prevention is a multi-faceted and controversial subject. There are many differing opinions about what works and studies are still being conducted concerning the most effective interventions. However, current research shows that the most effective programs share the following elements: a focus on reducing risk and enhancing protective factors, an emphasis on primary prevention and early intervention, and interagency partnerships and cooperation. For our purposes, we will address juvenile crime prevention in broad terms and give specific examples for the following areas: prevention, treatment, safe schools, bullying, gang prevention and conflict resolution. Because juvenile crime prevention requires a comprehensive approach, research in other best practice topic areas (such as health/mental health, parent education, and school success) is recommended. 1 Child/Youth Crime Prevention Essential Components Demonstrated and Model Programs Useful Websites Research Resources 1 Our expert review indicated that there is a difference between violence prevention and crime prevention. Violence prevention is a subset of crime prevention and requires a more targeted approach.

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.

Transnational criminal justice Crime prevention and crime policy One of the many results of the second Council of Europe summit was increased cooperation to protect citizens from crime. A coherent and rational crime policy, based on respect for human rights and the rule of law and directed towards crime prevention (social and situational), individualisation, the promotion of alternatives to custodial sentences, the social reintegration of offenders and the provision of assistance to victims, is needed in this connection. To promote the development of such a policy in its member states the Council of Europe has adopted a number of legal instruments. The last such instrument is a recommendation on early psychosocial intervention. The Council of Europe also organises regular research conferences and has set up a body of experts, the Criminological Scientific Council, to advise the European Committee on Crime Problems. Currently, the main focus of the cooperation activities in the field is prevention of juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice. 22nd Criminological Research Conference 24-26 November 2003, Strasbourg

National Center for Hate Crime Prevention, Education Development Center, Inc. To address the problem of hate crimes in our society and to foster prevention efforts, the federal government has funded the new National Center for Hate Crime Prevention. Co-funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the US Department of Education, the center provides technical assistance to professionals on responding to hate crime incidents and on working with young people to prevent such devastating violations of individuals' basic civil rights. Hate crimes seriously threaten our democratic society, which is built on the strength of its diversity. Thousands of Americans are victimized each year because of their skin color, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. These crimes have a devastating impact, not only on individual victims but on the communities in which they live. Since the majority of hate crimes are committed by young people, there is a pressing need for youth-serving organizations and agencies to help prevent these heinous crimes. To assist their efforts, the National Center for Hate Crime Prevention strives to improve communication about best practices in preventing juvenile hate crime, promote collaboration among various disciplines and organizations, and urge policy makers to make institutional changes. To that end, the center: Organizes hate crime prevention and response trainings for practitioners, trainers, and youth
