This book presents a critique of the traditional responses to youth crime by criminal justice agencies in Australia, UK, New Zealand, USA, Canada, and a vision of how these agencies could respond more effectively. The critique examines the ways in which traditional criminal justice approaches trap young people into, rather than turn them away from, a life of crime. The vision is for criminal justice agencies - police, courts, and corrections - to become more pro-active partners in society's efforts to guide young people towards becoming happy and productive citizens; for these agencies to focus less on the exercise of retributive powers and to embrace restorative approaches; and for agencies to develop a crime prevention role through partnership with community organisations. Author Paul Omaji argues against concentrating resources on the symptom when the underlying causes are within our intellectual grasp and amenable to effective criminal justice responses. Omaji demonstrates the capacity of criminal justice agencies to become constructive partners with community organisations in preventing youth crime and constructs ground rules for high impact partnerships.

This document discusses the involvement of teenagers in community crime prevention. It gives the justification, methods, successes, and problems of crime prevention programs in which young people participate. Several reasons for involving teenagers are given: teenagers need to develop a sense of community, they are often the victims of crime, and they have useful services to offer. Two chapters offer "primers" in community crime prevention and youth potential in these prevention programs. Teenage involvement in crime prevention programs in cities, suburbs, and rural areas with a variety of sponsors including law enforcement agencies, schools, youth groups, and community agencies is described. The characteristics of good programs, including resources, adult mentors, amd community support are noted. The problems existing crime prevention groups have encountered such as lack of adult involvement, adult domination, lack of rules, insufficient funding, and transportation problems are discussed. Twenty-eight programs throughout the United States and two from Canada are summarized with addresses and telephone numbers. (ABL)
