Introduction 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, community leaders and citizens together with state and local systems representatives. 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. Effective utilization of information when designing community prevention efforts saves both lives and resources. Prevention science offers provides empirically based affirmation that 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 adolescence, including crime and delinquency. Policy Prevention of juvenile crime must be regarded as being within the responsibility of criminal and juvenile justice agencies, policymakers and practitioners. Whether the role is convening or leading local community coalitions in identifying local factors that increase the likelihood of juvenile crime, or advocating for and participating in these community wide efforts, members of local criminal and juvenile justice systems offer important leadership to the public about the value of prevention as a matter of policy;

United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (The Riyadh Guidelines) Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 45/112 of 14 December 1990 I. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES 1. The prevention of juvenile delinquency is an essential part of crime prevention in society. By engaging in lawful, socially useful activities and adopting a humanistic orientation towards society and outlook on life, young persons can develop non-criminogenic attitudes. 2. The successful prevention of juvenile delinquency requires efforts on the part of the entire society to ensure the harmonious development of adolescents, with respect for and promotion of their personality from early childhood. 3. For the purposes of the interpretation of the present Guidelines, a child-centred orientation should be pursued. Young persons should have an active role and partnership within society and should not be considered as mere objects of socialization or control. 4. In the implementation of the present Guidelines, in accordance with national legal systems, the well-being of young persons from their early childhood should be the focus of any preventive programme. 5. The need for and importance of progressive delinquency prevention policies and the systematic study and the elaboration of measures should be recognized. These should avoid criminalizing and penalizing a child for behaviour that does not cause serious damage to the development of the child or harm to others. Such policies and measures should involve:

67. Conference To Honor Shaw's Work On Juvenile Crime Prevention Conference to honor Shaw s work on juvenile crime prevention. Chicago sociologist noted for work in city s neighborhoods A conference http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/950928/shaw.shtml

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.

Legal affairs Site Index About us Legal Co-operation ... 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 "Opinions, Attitudes and Images of Crime and its Control"

Population estimates by the State Department of Finance tell us that California's teenage at-risk population will experience a dramatic upsurge beginning about the year 2003.... "The present `lull' in at-risk population growth," Steinhart continues, "is a demographic pause offering time and opportunity to test new strategies to divert teens from the justice system and to relieve future correctional facility loads. The opportunity is enhanced by opinion polls showing that registered voters already support an increase in the state's commitment of resources to specific types of youth violence prevention programs. "In the Fiscal Year 98-99 California state budget, $50 million in new funding was appropriated for after-school programs in local districts.

C ONGRESSWOMAN E LLEN O. T AUSCHER TH D ISTRICT ~ C ALIFORNIA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: May 8, 1997 CONTACT: Dave Lemmon (202) 225-1880 Juvenile Crime Control Act Will Set Stiffer Penalties for Juvenile Crime Problem Tauscher stresses prevention should also be an integral effort of juvenile justice effort WASHINGTONRep. Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) voted in favor of H.R. 3, the Juvenile Crime Control Act, today on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Rep. Tauscher also spoke during the floor proceedings to stress that we need to couple tough juvenile crime control efforts with overall prevention efforts. The Juvenile Crime Control Act will make it simpler for federal authorities to prosecute and try as adults juveniles ages 14 years and older who commit federal violent crimes or federal drug-trafficking offenses. The bill also permits the Justice Department to prosecute as adults teenagers 13 years old who break such laws. Under current law, only youths ages 15 years and older can be prosecuted as adults. The bill, however, maintains the discretion of the Justice Department to try offenders as juveniles if it is in the best interests of public safety. Juvenile crime has become an epidemic in our country. We are losing children to crime at a more rapid rate and at an earlier age than ever before. Tougher laws for juvenile criminals are essential to solving this problem, however, it is only part of the answer to preventing our children from falling into a life of crime.

Contact Us FAQs Science Public Interest ... PPAN Congressional Testimony JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Submitted to the EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE COMMITTEE EARLY CHILDHOOD, YOUTH AND FAMILIES SUBCOMMITTEE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 21, 1997 An important societal factor that contributes to violence rates among youth is prejudice which continues to be a pervasive component of societal institutions and practices. Prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination are demonstrated in countless acts of interpersonal behavior each day. Hate crimes are an extreme expression of this intolerance that serve to threaten and intimidate entire categories of people. Unfortunately, violence against individuals on the basis of their real or perceived race, religion, sexual orientation, gender and other social groupings is a fact of life in the United States. According to recent research by psychologists examining hate crimes based on sexual orientation, anti-lesbian/gay violence was widespread with more than one-fifth of 2259 people surveyed reporting a hate motivated crime since age 16. Types of victimization included physical and sexual assaults, robberies, thefts, vandalism and assault with a weapon. The purpose of hate crimes is to target and intimidate an entire group of people for their specific group identification, e.g., ethnic minorities, religious minorities, lesbians and gay men. Hate crimes not only represent an attack on an individual's physical self but on her or his identity and the community to which she or he belongs. As a powerful form of intimidation, hate crimes serve the same purpose regardless of which social group the crime is directed.

Impact of Eliminating Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act Funding In 2001, the San Mateo County Juvenile Justice Council (JJCPA) created a plan using Crime Prevention Act 2000 funding to impact the most critical and largest gaps in the umbrella of services to the most troubled juveniles and their families in San Mateo County. The work required extensive collaboration at all levels from law enforcement, county government, and community-based organizations. The resulting seven (7) JJCPA programs require the efforts of many dedicated staff and extensive resources from the county not covered by JJCPA funding. The elimination of funding for this program will do away with critical, vitally needed services to more than 3,000 youth in San Mateo County. The elimination of these programs will be devastating.  Protection to the community will be compromised, commitments to juvenile hall will drastically increase, costly placements will rise, and criminal acts during prime time (after school) will escalate. Public safety will also be compromised for many of our citizens in our most needy areas. The following are program descriptions and the impact should these programs be cut: Juvenile Assessment and Referral Center youth will be served by this collaborative, team-based program comprised of Human Services, Mental Health and Probation staff. Early intensive intervention and supervision is key in preventing minors from escalating their delinquent conduct. Closure of this program will immediately increase the number of juvenile hall admissions by approximately 30%. Since our outdated Juvenile Hall is certified for 163 this can only result in many needy and dangerous youth being summarily released into the community. The Center assesses non-probationers who are detained by police and brought to juvenile hall. Treatment plans are developed and community service workers provide support, community referrals, mentoring, and advocacy. The primary goal is to divert appropriate minors away from the justice system and into the Mental Health or Human Services systems where they may be better suited.
