Demonstrated by a decline in daytime hours burglaries and other crime during the nine-month school year, tracked with data from St. Louis Police Department. Program Evaluation data will be collected and reviewed with a detailed evaluation conducted by the St. Louis Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Policy Board at the conclusion of the 1999-00 school year. There are eight specific zip code areas of St. Louis that are regarded as high-risk due to a dramatic rise in the number of victims of crime who are juveniles as compared with the national average. Crime victimization is a strong indicator of future crime involvement. Juveniles in poverty and poor living conditions are an indicator of juvenile crime involvement.
Family violence is another indicator of youth violence.
Similarly, adolescents growing up in homes exhibiting partner violence, generalized hostility, or child maltreatment, have a high rate of violent involvement. Over 5,700 domestic violence calls were logged by police in the City of St. Louis in 1997.
