Project Description:
This project will provide assistance to faith-based organizations as they expand their role and effectiveness in reducing the incidence of crime committed by youth living in urban distressed areas of the state. Faith-based organizations have been seen as a direct link to enabling youth in gaining or rebuilding self-esteem and self-worth, thereby, building strategies to develop a comprehensive prevention plan for juvenile crime. Data continues to show that juvenile crime is committed by youths residing in the state urban distressed areas. Faith-based organizations must become an integral part of continuum of juvenile crime prevention entity in these communities.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
These early intervention programs will assist the juvenile justice system with a social service capacity: such youth can be taught to distinguish right from wrong; can acquire personal discipline and moral virtues; and can learn to respect both themselves and others.
