I am not saying we can see the future, but something can be done to prevent crimes from occurring. Working with our nation 's youth can help the future of our country. The kids who need the guidances are the ones in low income neighborhoods. They may not have the support or love at home that is needed to keep them out of the streets. Programs such as “Scared Straight” can show teens that this is not the life you want to be involved in. “Scared Straight” brings troubled teens into the prison system to show them there is nothing glamorous about prison. This program does not keep everyone in it out of the jailing system but it does work for many. If it changes the life of one it changes the lives of many. This may be one less fight that breaks out or even one less robbery that takes place. By helping those who are likely to fall into a life a of crime you help those who already do their part to contribute to
