CRIME PREVENTIONBy: devoe betts

Introduction

Do you hate going to places when young teens don’t act right?

Why?

What can be done about it?

I have some ideas to share with you.

Research CIRVChicago and Cincinnati have programs that are working

for gang reductions.

• CIRV began in April, with funding from from U.S Department of Justice after the city recorded a record 89 killings in 2007.

• With strong anti-violence messages and encourage to spread the word to teen in the streets.

• After that they are contract with “street advocates” who counsel them on turning a new leaf.

Scrap Iron shifted gang intervention from police work elaborate behavioral approach that has two prongs: using law enforcement to aggressively get the message of zero tolerance.

• In order to prevent crime, we must concentrate on getting our children off good start by helping them grew up with moral values.

• Between 1988 and 1993 youth homicide rate more than doubled while adult homicide rates stay the same.

• Development of violence prevention programs and it conducts research on the causes of violence and the effectiveness of prevention.

• Most crime is against property, not people, and not many crimes are carefully planned.

• An anti-organization of over 5,000 police chiefs, etc.

• He want to start a “Boot Camp” at Over-The-Rhine school campus for at-risk youth, but that idea is on hold.

• He want Professional football players to help out, he feel that it’s going to help young teens because they look up to celebrity.

• He’s Planning a city-wide forum possibly in October to help determine the best approach to reducing the crime.

Ceasefire Program• When I did my research on this program I saw a

lot of things about their program that are very effective.

• Robert Wood Johnson which has supported Ceasefire since 1999 with $10 million in funding.

• This program does background checks and drug tests

• The members must have have a job and stay with a job.

• The program has been found to directly reduce shootings by 16% to 34% in targeted in neighborhoods.

Collaboration

Make a ChangeThis program is trying to focus on young people who can’t stay out of trouble like repeated offenders. That constantly stays in trouble. I will be with the juvenile court system to identify who they are.

They have to have weekly group therapy.

It want be like a parole condition its like to see if they like they program or is they learning anything from the program.

I going to monitor them coming with a micro chip. Am going to give each person 10,000 dollars for a business. In order get that $ they have to attend meetings and go to therapy classes.

Continue Make a Change

I will have one police officer, 2 ex criminals who had got there life together, and 2 people who been victims of crime to speak with them.

I want to have it at 20/20 rent it out for a $100 a week to have these group meetings.

The cost of this whole program would be 65,000 dollars for a year work.

I will be getting the money from grants and donation.
