Certain youth and the community together - including its component parts, particularly family, police, schools, youth agencies, probation, churches and neighborhood organizations and political administrations as well as larger social, economic and cultural factors - are responsible for the creation and intensification of the problem. The model proposes that a special structure of these agencies and community groups must be developed to focus and implement strategies toward target youth in gang-problem communities. | | | | Date Created: | 2003 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003700 Original UID: 3546 FIRST WORD: The | |
