Discuss how the prevention steps in the Public Health Model are used in the criminal justice and juvenile justice systems.
What will be an ideal response?
Primary prevention programs address juveniles before they manifest themselves as criminals. Examples of such programs are child skills training, after-school recreation, juvenile mentoring programs, and job training. Secondary prevention programs provide counseling services for youth and adults who are at risk for violating the law. Finally, tertiary prevention programs would mandate aftercare programs for those who are being released from prison or a detention center.
