The Causes and Correlates Studies: Findings and Policy Implications Developing effective intervention programs based on scientific understanding of the origins of delinquency is essential to the prevention of delinquent behavior. The Causes and Correlates study findings have important implications for the design of such programs. Strategic Risk-Based Response to Youth Gangs Establishing a comprehensive communitywide approach may not be a practical
option for every community. Strategic risk-based responses to youth gangs can
be adopted, however, even in the absence of a communitywide response and regardless
of whether the focus is prevention, intervention, or suppression of gangs.
