According to the data collected from the Uniform Crime Reporting (2015),a Federal Bureau Investigation branch, of the “388,082 arrests made for violent crimes, 36% composed of juveniles and young adults up to age 24” (p. 1). To this current date, the recent data reflects a higher than desired number of perpetration against minors and young adults as it nearly peaks towards half of the violent crimes arrests. Upon further inspection, 25.8% violent crime arrests are against young adults ages 18-to-24 (Uniform Crime Reporting, p. 1). The pressing issue is further shown in Healthy People 2020 (2016) objective to lower the incidence rates of perpetration of youth, the goal is to cut perpetration down to 399.6 arrests per 100,000 population for

As with many social issues, there is a multifactorial effect in place that influence behaviors or decisions made by people. This brings about the challenge of policy makers and researchers to name what they consider the key issues based on the limited findings available. The findings are limited because of previous state outlooks on who is considered a juvenile or minor and the defining age range for young adults varies in research. The Council of State Governments (2005) related the confounding distinctions of some states trialing youth as adults in ages ranging from 16, 17, and 18 (p. 1). Limited data ranges could misconstrue data collection on reports of minors or adults being arrested state to …show more content…
This reduction translates into $32,200 of long-run benefits to Washington taxpayers and people who do not become victims of crime, yielding an expected net present value of about $29,100 in benefits per participant. (p. 31)
This serves as one of the many analysis that the WSIPP observes benefits in costs to the public in terms of taxes and the life course of a young adult who would profit from these instances for avoidance of reoffending crimes. It doesn’t consider the general nation population as a whole, only state inclusive findings but this serves as a steadfast finding in what could happen if policymakers focus more on the young adults and juveniles preventions for arrests.
In this essay, studies in the categories of therapy, easier educational access, job skill training, substance use prevention, are investigated on increasing its effectiveness to the young adult population in lowering violent crime arrests or high-risk behaviors. High-risk behaviors are also examined due to the correlation of risky behavior associated with poor judgement-based decisions and exposure to crime related
