Martin Alan Greenberg: Youth Involvement in Public Safety in the United States, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book explores youth involvement in public safety, measuring the success of historic programs in school districts, fire departments, and police departments, and evaluating their potential to mitigate youth violence in the U. S. In its examination of structured community youth programs, such as the Police Athletic League and EMS Exploring, this volume examines the pros and cons of harm reduction and public safety activities through community empowerment of juveniles.

The chapters that follow explore the origins of youth-involved public safety programs, recommending that these initiatives may be a solution to improving health, education, and social outcomes. It is ideal for professionals working with juvenile programming and local policymakers.
