Juvenile Crime in New South Wales: Directions for change Implicit in the previous section of the report are the following general directions for changing the way we approach young people and juvenile crime. 1. The justice system alone cannot prevent juvenile crime The role of complex social issues in the occurrence of crime was recognised by many the Division spoke to. It was also acknowledged that while the criminal justice system has a role to play in preventing crime, it also has the potential to aggravate crime. Many agreed that effective crime prevention is inseparable from other efforts to promote social justice, equity and fairness and that because of this, responsibility for crime prevention cannot be considered to rest solely with the criminal justice agencies, but must be seen as lying also with the family, the community, peer groups, schools, welfare agencies and voluntary organisations. 2. Early intervention is the key to successful, cost-effective crime prevention Many young people who later offend may face social problems early in life that later may manifest in offending behaviour. The view was expressed that too often it is not until young people begin to offend that any action is taken to address the difficulties they face. There was general agreement that for preventative programs to be cost-effective and have maximum effect they needed to be implemented early in life. Parenting education, strong school support programs and support for parents were all linked to effective crime prevention.

Quick Links Research indicates that levels of academic achievement, which can be affected by learning disabilities or other problems, play a significant role in youth involvement crime. Given the national level of high school non-completion (about 18%), the relationship between school performance and crime may be cause for concern. While school failure does not necessarily lead to criminal involvement, poor school achievements, along with dropping out of school are strong correlates of youth's antisocial behaviour and involvement in crime. In most cases, however, experiencing difficulties in school is not easily isolated from other risk factors affecting a young person's environment. A number of risk factors are often associated with the likelihood of experiencing academic difficulties. Individual characteristics that can affect school performance include child health and a young person's disabilities.

Assessment of Youth Gang Programs In 1988, with OJJDP support, Spergel and his colleagues conducted a nationwide assessment of youth gang prevention, intervention, and suppression programs (Spergel, 1995; Spergel and Curry, 1993; Spergel, Curry, et al., 1994). The assessment included a survey of 254 respondents in 45 communities and 6 special program sites regarding strategies they employed and their perception of which were the most effective. All surveyed sites had youth gang problems and organized responses to those problems. Responses were categorized into the major program types that Spergel (1991) identified in a literature review of gang programs: community organization, social intervention, provision of opportunities, and suppression. The survey team added a fifth response category: organizational change and development. Suppression was the most frequently employed strategy (44 percent), followed by social intervention (31 percent), organizational change and development (11 percent), community organization (9 percent), and provision of opportunities (5 percent). Survey respondents believed different approaches were effective in chronic (longstanding) versus emerging (more recent) gang problem cities (Spergel and Curry, 1990, 1993). Provision of social opportunities was perceived to be more effective in sites with chronic gang problems. Community organization (mobilization)

Yo Community involvement is one of the key strands that comprise citizenship education, a subject area formally included in the revised national curriculum for England in November 1999. Good citizenship education involves active participation in the community. In primary schools (key stages 1 and 2), it is a non-statutory part of a new framework for personal, social and health education (PSHE) and citizenship, which has been implemented since September 2000. Citizenship will become a statutory new national curriculum subject for all young people in secondary schools (key stages 3 and 4) from August 2002. At key stages 3 and 4, Citizenship is complemented by the framework for PSHE. What is citizenship? Community involvement is one of the three key strands that comprise citizenship education. In combination with the other two - social and moral responsibility and political literacy - it gives pupils first hand experience of active citizenship. The aim of this strand of citizenship education is to promote active citizenship through the responsible participation of young people in their schools and communities. Citizenship gives young people the skills and confidence to play an active part in their community. Citizenship is empowerment.

The CCP model stresses crime reduction and enhancement of public safety as vital elements to improving the quality of life in our nation's cities. CCP uses a simple approach that Brings together people most affected by crime problems. Gives each stakeholder a meaningful role in solving problems. Applies a deliberate planning and implementation process. CCP's two primary componentscommunity policing and community mobilizationbring together community residents and police officers to develop solutions to local problems. Other components of the program include community prosecution, drug courts, crime prevention through environmental design, youth involvement initiatives, and community corrections. Program Goals CCP provides a framework in which community residents, government agencies, and private organizations can work together to improve the quality of life in a community. The goals of the program are to Suppress violence and restore the sense of community well-being needed to recapture the security of neighborhoods. Focus on the problems and concerns of communities and their neighborhoods by initiating comprehensive planning and improving government-community relationships. Develop a comprehensive, multiagency strategy within each community to identify the causes of violence and to control and prevent violent and drug-related crime. Use community policing and other efforts to encourage citizens to take an active role in problem solving. Coordinate and concentrate existing federal, state, local, and private agency resources in the program communities to maximize their impact on crime reduction. Program Principles The following are key principles that underlie CCP goals: Partnership and collaboration. Shared problem identification and problem solving. Commitment to change how public safety works. To date, 15 jurisdictions have participated in this public safety initiative. Although the sites differ in area, population, culture, politics, and resources, they all adhere to CCP principles in tailoring their program to meet their community's needs. Program designers in Hartford, Connecticut, established Problem Solving Committees (PSCs) in each of the city's 17 neighborhoods to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life. Each PSC is composed of leaders of neighborhood groups, congregations, business associations, clubs, and local agencies. Representatives from each PSC participate in the citywide Community Planning and Mobilization Committee, created to share information and promote shared problem solving. The city's community court, which was developed in 1998 and is the nation's second such court, evolved from Hartford's PSC efforts. In Salt Lake City, Community Action Teams (CATs) operate in the city's seven council districts. CATs core groups of government agency representatives meet weekly to address local crime and disorder problems. The diversity of CAT membership and the range of expertise and resources they bring has helped make this problem-solving mechanism an ongoing city function. Critical Elements In addition to its underlying principles, CCP is characterized by certain critical elements: Strategic planning. Ongoing planning by all key stakeholders is essential for any progress in developing this public safety strategy. Management and operations. An individual or team coordinator must be given authority to oversee this multifaceted strategy throughout its development. Evaluation. A sound public safety strategy must include an evaluation component to help determine whether goals are being met and to improve or modify the strategy if needed. Sustainment. The strategy must be viewed as a long-term effort, requiring ongoing commitment and support from stakeholders. Boston initiated its CCP by engaging neighborhood residents and police officers in a citywide strategic planning process. The focus of this effort is to reduce crime problems that interfere with residents' quality of life. Two significant programs, replicated in other cities, grew out of this joint planning processthe Youth Service Providers Network, which links at-risk youth and their families with social services, and Operation Night-Light, which teams up probation and parole officers with police officers to monitor probationers and parolees. Officials in Phoenix, Arizona, focused on one neighborhood, the Greater Coronado Historical District. Here, community groups, residents, police, and local agency representatives identified local problems and developed solutions. These stakeholders collaborated with the University of Arizona to evaluate local conditions, measuring the fear of crime perceptions of residents before and after CCP activities. The evaluation guided efforts to modify the jurisdiction's crime prevention strategy. A Positive Approach With Positive Results By using the CCP approach, 15 jurisdictions across the country have made great strides in reducing crime, improving the quality of life, and improving the delivery of services in their neighborhoods. They have mobilized community members, police, social service agencies, faith communities, city departments, and a host of other partners to prevent, intervene in, and control crime. Each collaborative was designed for a specific area, showing the flexibility and uniqueness of the CCP approach. Baltimore, Denver, Fort Worth, Hartford, Salt Lake City, and Wichita have witnessed up to 50-percent reductions in violent crime in their CCP neighborhoods. Atlanta, Columbia, the District of Columbia, Oakland, and Seattle have also made measurable progress. The following are some success stories: Phoenix closed more than 70 drug houses. Omaha drastically reduced its juvenile truancy problem. Wilmington initiated a model juvenile drug court. Boston had only one gun-related juvenile death in a 4-year period.
