Title: Prevention of Serious Delinquency and Violence: Implications From the Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency (From Sourcebook on Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders, P 213-237, 1995, James C. Howell, Barry Krisberg, et. al., eds)
Author(s): T P Thornberry; D Huizinga; R Loeber
Date Published: 1995
Annotation: The research findings from Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP) Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency suggest that any attempt to reduce the level of serious violent juvenile delinquency must place great emphasis on programs.
Abstract: The OJJDP program began in 1986 and represents the largest and most comprehensive effort ever undertaken to understand the development of serious delinquency, violence, and drug use. It consists of three well-coordinated longitudinal research projects: the Denver Youth Survey, the Pittsburgh Youth Study, and the Rochester Youth Development Study. The 4,500 youths had been followed for at least 6 years by the spring of 1994. The findings also suggest three organizing principles for the design of prevention and treatment programs. They need to start early, to be comprehensive, and to be made available on a long-term basis. Only programs of this nature conform to what is known about the development and course of serious violent delinquent careers. Figures, notes, and 46 references
