Allen Bittner Southern New Hampshire University CJ 346 3/17/2024 Journal Crime prevention strategies for juveniles consist of three major points: prevention, early intervention, providing opportunities to develop positive behavior. Early intervention requires that people who interact with the children understand the warning signs and help accordingly. For example, two early signs are truancy and neglect. Initializing programs that help to higher school morale or family-based community centers that integrate service delivery through a range of promising programs, could help lower delinquency rates (youth, 2023) (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, n.d.). Adult crime-prevention strategies work off the assumption that adults are logical people that decide to commit crimes. One way to reduce this type of crime is to incorporate situational prevention techniques. Situational strategies help to reduce crime by increasing the effort needed, increasing the risk, reducing the reward, reducing provocations, and removing excuses (Hoover, 2014). Status offences can be summarized as any offence that can only be committed by minors. Offences like this would include running away from home, truancy, curfew violations, underage drinking, underage smoking, underage driving. Comparatively, delinquent acts are offences committed by minors and deemed criminal in juvenile and adult courts. Examples of delinquent acts are shoplifting, theft, battery, assault, fraud, unlicensed driving, drug possession, trespassing, vandalism etc (Admin, 2018).
