Youth court is a voluntary alternative to the juvenile justice system.
The goal of youth court is to intervene in early anti-social, delinquent, and criminal behavior, and to reduce the incidence and prevent the escalation of such behavior. Youth court strives to harness positive peer pressure and redirect it to become a force to lead juveniles to become law-abiding citizens. If negative peer pressure can lead young people to break the law, then positive peer pressure can encourage citizenship among youth. This workshop will demonstrate a method of promoting and sponsoring crime prevention efforts at little or no cost. Attendees will be given a road map to create comprehensive crime prevention programs that won't cost taxpayers.
