- Community Crime Prevention relates to interventions designed to bring reform to the social conditions that influence, and encourage, offending in residential communities. Community crime prevention has a main focus on both the social and local institutions found within communities which can influence crime rates, specifically juvenile delinquency. Community-based crime prevention places a strong emphasis on the importance of peer influence and mentoring in preventing delinquency. The establishment of the Federal Crime Bill in 1994 gave rise to the use of community crime prevention. Community Initiatives such as Communities That Care (CTC), PACT (Pulling America's Communities Together), and Operation Weed and Seed are all examples of effective community initiatives which deemed to be significantly influential in reducing delinquency within residential communities. After-school programs have also been connected with effectively reducing dleuqneuncy. Interest in utilizing ASPs for delinquency prevention increased dramatically after research reports found that juvenile arrest rates peak between 3:00 and 6:00 PM when youth are most likely to be unsupervised. There are two reasons why after-school programs are critical settings through which to support children’s development. First, health promotion is already a major goal of after-school programs, whose activities promote building social skills. Secondly, after-school programs have been statistically proven to improve children’s psychosocial and academic outcomes, especially low-income children. (en)
