Extractions: [Public Involvement Guide Main Page] The safety of citizens is a primary concern of municipal government. While the court system is the responsibility of other levels of government, the City looks after policing and fire prevention services. Public participation in both of these areas is mostly done through advisory committees. In recognition of the special concerns of young people, the City also has an advisory committee dedicated to family court and youth justice issues. Fire prevention The Vancouver Fire Department recently went through a strategic planning process in parallel with the Better City Government initiative. Among other improvements, the plan urges greater identification of fire halls with the community. As a result, fire halls have been renamed with community names, and have provided venues for local concerts and meetings. A Fire and Rescue Service Advisory Committee has been established to help with the implementation of the Strategic Plan. The committee is appointed by Council but reports to the Fire Chief rather than Council. (For further information, please call Fire and Rescue Services at 665-6000.) Family Court/Youth Justice Vancouver’s Family Court/Youth Justice Committee was established in the 1970s, and operates under the province’s Provincial Court Act and the federal Young Offenders Act. It reports to both the Attorney General of British Columbia and City Council. Although it may assist the court when cases are referred to it for advice, the committee’s main work is to examine the resources of the community for family and children’s work and for young offenders.

Juvenile Crime and Delinquency Prevention Programs and Principles Policy Printer-friendly Version 12.1 Youth Violence and Delinquency Prevention The nation's Governors believe that combating youth delinquency and violence requires the development and implementation of programs and policies that prevent delinquency, eliminate the presence of violence wherever children congregate, and ensure strong punishment for those responsible for exposing young people to delinquency, drugs, and violence. 12.1.2 Prevention and Early Intervention. The first line of defense against youth violence is the establishment of comprehensive services and programs for at-risk children and their families. Success in school and in life requires that children be prepared when their regular schooling begins. These services and programs should be designed to reach out and respond to children and youth from infancy to adulthood. Early prevention through programs that build self-esteem through achievement of worthwhile goals and offer an alternative to violent and criminal activity is critical to the successful reduction of crime, violence, and gang activities in our neighborhoods. Effective measures may include, but are not limited to: programs that give education, employment, and training opportunities to youth in high-crime areas;

Extractions: Conference Speakers Agenda Who should attend? Costs/Info ... Booking Tuesday 16th April 2002, New Connaught Rooms, London WC2 Tuesday 16th April 2002 , New Connaught Rooms, London WC2 Recent evidence from the Metropolitan Police has revealed high volumes of serious crime amongst school age children in London. In particular, recent Youth Justice Board research into street crime has highlighted worrying levels of crime not only in schools, but also on route to and from the school gates. There are strong indications of children being victimised by other children and being drawn into crime as a response to fear of intimidation and the threat of violence. This in turn has major implications for the reporting of crime by children, as well as their involvement as witnesses in court. This one-day conference aims to address both the youth crime prevention agenda and the tackling of serious and persistent offenders through greater use of intensively supervised community penalties. The conference will discuss how closer relations can be built between police and schools to provide support to schools in tackling anti social behaviour, bullying and truancy, and to prevent this developing into more serious offending behaviour. It will also discuss the new model being developed by the Metropolitan Police to provide information sharing on young people at risk of becoming involved in offending.

RCMP National Youth Strategy - Contacts Expected results include A more economical and efficient response to the preventionof youth crime and victimization. Increased involvement of stakeholders http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/youth/strategy_e.htm
Extractions: Youth involvement in crime - both as victims and offenders - is significant. Many key partners such as community leaders, social and criminal justice agencies, parents and youth themselves have broad expectations about the role of policing and do not believe that a criminal justice response alone will prevent crime. It is a logical extension of the RCMP's Mission, Vision and Values and commitments, and our community policing philosophy that the RCMP continue to improve and expand existing partnerships in reducing the enormous emotional, social and financial costs of youth crime and youth victimization to society. The RCMP is expected to provide leadership and expertise to assist in addressing the social causes of crime in partnerships that contribute to the overallsustainability of communities.
