What will be an ideal response?
Primary prevention programs: Directed at very broad groups of children, not just those who fall into risk categories. Often implemented in a school or pre-school setting.
Project SELF: Developing resilience and focusing on cultural and ethnic identity. Selective prevention programs or secondary prevention: Directed at children or adolescents who are at risk of juvenile offending or have already shown some non-serious problem behaviors.
Fast Track Project: Based on developmental pathway theory
Two major phases: 1) Elementary focuses on six risk and protective factors.
2) Adolescent periods focus on four areas of adolescent adjustment.
Compared with a group of high-risk children not in a program, children in a program showed improved social, emotional, and academic skills and improved peer relationships. Treatment approaches or tertiary prevention: Directed at children or adolescents who are adjudicated delinquents. Most effective if based on risk, needs, responsivity principles.
Boot camps: Community treatment. Short-term, intensive, military style program for nonviolent offenders.
