Describe the framework of the Chicago Area Projects
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should include the following points:
- Chicago Area Projects (CAP) in 1934 (Clifford Shaw and Henry McKay)—initiated in three areas: south Chicago, the near west side, and the near north side
- philosophy of CAP based on the belief that instead of turning over youth so quickly to the justice system, the community should deal with its own problems and intervene on behalf of its youth
- leaders of the local groups, often individuals who were once in CAP programs, know how to relate to and deal with youths having problems at school or with the law
- citizens of the community organize social and recreational programs for youths to participate in constructive activities
- CAP advocated grassroots leadership, neighborhood revitalization, the community’s role in policing itself, and the importance of community dispute resolution
- three basic goals
- forum for local residents to become acquainted with new scientific perspectives on child rearing, child welfare, and juvenile delinquency
- initiation of new channels of communication between local residents and the institutional representatives of the larger community
- bringing adults into contact with local youths, especially those having difficulties with the law
