The relationship between local law enforcement and the youth population has been a troublesome issue in modern day policing. In 2014, after a death of a young boy Tamir Rice in a police shooting, it struck the idea to understand the issue within the city of Cleveland police department and their relationship with the young men and women to identify the key aspects as to why law enforcement typically have communication barriers to the children. A stigma that may be thought of certain parents not wanting their child to speak to police officers because they are not their role models and have the authority to get them in trouble for any reason that seems necessary. Some others may think that police officers are very corrupted that they do not follow the values of their mission to keep them safe. Youth…
Camp Jewell YMCA is a place where all can come to enjoy time in the wilderness, create lasting relationships and cherished memories, and grow as a person in every aspect. Throughout my time at Camp Jewell I have experienced what this amazing community can do for you. I have met with counselors who have come from across the globe to give children the summer experience that they all hope for and need. Seeing the smile of a child’s face after a perfect day at Camp Jewell is the reason so many people keep coming back year after year. I feel that the commitment of five weeks of my summer complimented with low pay, long hours, and time-off restrictions is not a deterrent for this job.…
In January, when I first started my internship at the Mansfield Youth Services Bureau, I was unsure of whether or not it was the type of placement I was in search of. When I first reached out to the Director of Youth Services, Pat Michalak, it was with the intention that I would be placed in a position where I could gain hands-on experience working with youth, ages 18 and under, but that was not what was available to me at the time. The bureau’s two initiatives that allow for direct involvement with youth, Big Friends and COPE, had already been filled at the beginning of the school year. However, Pat was so intrigued by my e-mail of inquiry that she did not wish to lose me as an intern.…

Safe the Youth program goal is to prevent delinquency and juvenile re-offending. All of the three counseling sessions will work together to prevent delinquency by understanding what type of counseling session is needed most for each adolescent and this varies for each delinquent; some delinquents will need all three and some may not need to use all three of the counseling sessions. All of these sessions go along with one and another due to their potential risk factors (e.g., a lack of education, anti-social behavior, and mental illness) causes youth more susceptible to become delinquents. The design behind each counseling session is to promote skill-building, discipline, and restructure misleading perceptions. Each counseling session are going…
I’m currently a senior studying criminal justice at the University of Baltimore (UB). To satisfy a requirement for my degree program, I was required to secure an internship in my major.

My internship search began at the beginning of my senior year, without much success. I searched online job websites, made phone calls and reached out to family and friends.…

Abstract One of the questions that has been asked countless times is why most are if not all extracurricular activities at our middle and high schools are being taken away. After school programs have been very strategic in helping young people find their talent, career choices and so much more (Durlak, 2007). Football, basketball, band and dance are just a few of the activities that kids have to choose from when it comes to participating in their school activities. According to the San Diego Police department and also a few other Police departments, they have reported that the number of kids that participate in extracurricular activities are less likely to commit a crime (Afterschool Alliance, 2007).…
