Crime Prevention Program|Applied Sciences
For this project, you will assume the role of a social science researcher in charge of developing a new crime prevention program targeted toward juveniles in the K–12 school system. Review current crime prevention programs that target juveniles and adults. There are several crime prevention programs that are designed for adults and which are also in K–12 schools nationwide with a standardized curriculum (i.e., Neighborhood Watch, D.A.R.E. and G.R.E.A.T.) with many more programs created at the local level (i.e., Citizens Academy, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and YMCA after-school programs are unique to the community).
Identify three programs currently being utilized in communities andin the K–12 school system, national, state, or local programs. Compare and contrast the programs in terms of goals and objectives, target population (e.g., who is receiving and participating in the program), and how and by whom the programs are delivered (i.e., taught by law enforcement officers, school counselors, individuals outside of the school system, etc.). Based on these comparisons, explain which elements you would place in your program and how your program will be delivered to the students.
Create a 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (excluding the cover slide and reference slide). When conducting your research and composing your presentation, do so in a manner which will allow you the opportunity to reuse it for a later assignment. You will refer to this for Part 2 of your final assignment
In your presentation, incorporate speaker notes to include the following:
Include a reference and title slide.
Cite a minimum of three academic sources in your reference slide, using in-text citations in the presentation where appropriate. Proper citations must be in APA style.
