The delinquency prevention program that I am going to implement is going to be called Safe the Youth. Safe the Youth program is going to assist adolescents that are more at risk of criminal behaviors and activities compared to youths on average. This delinquency prevention program is going to target all types of delinquents such as, first time offenders, drug abusers, status offenders, and at risk youth. At risk youth is any adolescent who are at higher risk of committing crimes (e.g., poverty, social disorganization, and drop out students).

Colonial law did, however, make punishable such offenses as running away, incorrigibility,…

    Juvenile Offenders Is An Alternative Method Of Programs

    In a Detroit News editorial article, Governor Rick Snyder proposes the state of Michigan needs to step up to do more for juvenile offenders. One of Governor Snyder’s proposals is to establish programs that would determine the best way to treat each offender (“Detroit News,” 2015).

As research and studies have shown, incarceration in the United States has rapidly increased over the last twenty years. Every single person living in the United States today is affected by juvenile crime.…
