All communities share the goals of keeping youth away from crime and crime away from youth.
This comprehensive kit contains fact sheets and accompanying transparency masters on 17 youth crime prevention and juvenile justice topics. These materials are designed to support short presentations on specific topics, including promising strategies to reduce juvenile crime, building collaborations to benefit youth, youth and guns, holding juvenile offenders accountable, community policing and youth, and mentoring. A videotape features a 60-second public service advertisement that urges adults to invest in youth for a safer future. The U.S. Department of Justice has included in the kit information on how to get publications on key issues in preventing delinquency and intervening effectively with troubled youth. Rounding out the kit is a user's guide that suggests ways to use the various components of the kit and a resource list.
