Policing And Law Enforcement - need greater attention such as crime, disorder, and substance abuse awareness andprevention, addressing the strategies to prevent youth involvement in gangs http://www.sgc.gc.ca/policing/crime_prevention_e.asp
Extractions: Crime Prevention Support for community prevention programs is provided through the National Crime Prevention Strategy . With an investment of $273 million over the next four years, the National Strategy builds on the excellent work of the former Council (Phase I), and aims at reducing crime and victimization by addressing their root causes through a social development approach. Crime Prevention through Social Development (CPSD) is a long-term, proactive approach. It is directed at removing those personal, social, and economic factors that lead some individuals to engage in criminal acts or to become victims of crime. The National Strategy is investing in projects that address risk factors in people's lives, such as abuse, violence, poor parenting, and drug and alcohol abuse. The Portfolio of the Solicitor General is committed to supporting policing and correctional services across Canada in their efforts to reduce crime and victimization through community-based crime prevention activities. With the new monies (totaling $1.4M annually for four years), the Portfolio plans to build its capacity to address issues that need greater attention such as crime, disorder, and social dysfunction in First Nation and remote/isolated communities, substance abuse awareness and prevention, addressing the risks associated with children of offenders and producing and supporting strategies to prevent youth involvement in gangs and auto theft.

Extractions: State Level Youth Initiatives Several state agencies collaborated to support the Iowa Youth Survey, a triennial survey of Iowa youth in 6th, 8th and 11th grades. This comprehensive survey was administered by the Department of Public Health through a grant to the Iowa Consortium for Substance Abuse Research and Evaluation. More than 85,000 Iowa students completed the survey in October and November 1999. Statewide and county-level results are available on the internet at http://www.state.ia.us/dhr/cjjp/ythsurvey.html ". The survey results provide extensive data on the attitudes and behaviors of Iowa youth and are a valuable source of information for the state and communities. Other geographical breakdowns of the data available include: Decategorization regions; Judicial Districts; Area Education Agencies; Department of Human Services; and Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention regions. Iowa was recently selected as one of six states to participate in a new initiative of the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) to examine and support state level activities to embed prevention in state policies. This initiative is designed to promote a more preventative or youth development orientation to youth issues, with a particular focus on comprehensive, community-based crime reduction initiatives. The NCPC, through anticipated funding from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, will work with the six pilot states to help support and sustain these locally developed prevention efforts.

Success4 utilizes Special Education resources to award grants to local school districts that develop plans and work collaboratively with other community entities to establish social, emotional, and behavioral objectives in newly required comprehensive school improvement plans. Mandated by the federal Workforce Investment Act, each of Iowa's sixteen workforce development regions has created a Youth Advisory Council to help plan and coordinate youth development services in their region. Training for Youth Council's is available from IWD using a nationally developed curriculum. IWD arranged for individuals from several state agencies participating on the Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development to be trained on this curriculum, allowing for cross-agency assistance to local Youth Councils.

Extractions: CRIME PREVENTION DIGEST Governments within the context of the United Nations have adopted guidelines on the prevention of crime. They called for crime prevention to be implemented locally following problem solving approaches - mobilizing the agencies with the solutions through a diagnosis of the nature of the crime problem. They emphasized that central authorities - consistent with the competence of the agency - should provide active support, assistance and encouragement to the local efforts as well as coordinate national strategies and work with relevant central administrations. For the 7 countries, the ICPC has brought together information on their central strategies to foster crime prevention. The results are presented in table form in annex 1. Tables 1-3 summarize information on the central secretariats and their budgets, their way of operating and priorities and their access to analysis of developments in crime problems and prevention practices. Tables 4-6 provide an overview of how they harness their capacity by collaborating with other government departments, developing local problem solving partnerships and involving and informing citizens.

Extractions: Promising Programs and Practices Prevention of antisocial and delinquent behavior can be accomplished by fostering resilience in individuals who are exposed to risk factors. Resiliency can be fostered through modeling and teaching children and youth to use appropriate behaviors that meet their needs as well as, or better than, their maladaptive behaviors. Examples of strategies that target multiple factors while teaching and modeling appropriate behaviors include conflict resolution, social skills training, effective management routines, encouraging the involvement of youth in making decisions, and open lines of communication. According to the Center on Crime, Communities, and Culture ( www.soros.org ), a quality education is one of most effective forms of crime prevention and the most cost-effective strategy.

Juvenile Crime Prevention Plan In order to respond effectively to juvenile crime and other youth problems, the mustaddress primary, secondary and tertiary efforts at prevention. http://www.co.benton.or.us/ccf/juvenile_crime_prevention_plan.htm
Extractions: Juvenile Crime Prevention Plan 1999 Data Report-PDF File EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1995 the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 establishing Local Public Safety Coordinating Councils. The LPSCC is charged with developing two plans, one for the expenditure of state funds in Benton County (attachment R) and the second is a plan designed to prevent criminal involvement by youth. These plans are to be developed in consultation with the Local Commission on Children and Families. In Benton County, the Willamette Criminal Justice Council has been designated as the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council. In order to respond effectively to juvenile crime and other youth problems, the planning approach must address primary, secondary and tertiary efforts at prevention. Operational definitions of each are: · Primary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have never engaged in criminal activity. · Secondary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have committed offenses and who are under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Department to refrain from the commission of additional offenses. · Tertiary Prevention includes activities that will assist youth who have committed offenses and who are under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Youth Authority to refrain from committing additional offenses.
