Youth violence can be prevented. Despite the "get tough" rhetoric and the political and popular media depictions that juvenile "super-predators" are hardened criminals without possibilities of rehabilitation who should be caged and punished accordingly, we do know how to prevent and reduce crime and delinquency. Moreover, the "get-tough," punishment-oriented crime policies of the last twenty-five years do not reduce crime-and in some cases are counterproductive. However, the knowledge base for life-course criminology and early intervention has drastically expanded in the last two decades. There is a substantial body of evidence that exists in support of early intervention programs to appreciably prevent and reduce criminality in our society. Early intervention is the preferred strategy for addressing the causes of crime explicated by life-course criminology. Life-course criminology postulates that, in order to prevent crime, we must first understand how antisocial behavior develops so as to enable us to construct effective intervention strategies that interrupt the adverse life trajectory. Specifically, life-course criminology has found that early childhood factors are significant precursors of future behavior-that is, youths exposed to certain risk factors predictive of criminality in their families, in school, among peers, and in their environments are at high-risk for becoming serious, violent, and chronic offenders. Early intervention endeavors to address these correlates of crime as early in the life-course as possible in order to intercede prior to the accumulation of multiple problems and offenses. This project reviews the empirical data pertaining to early intervention. Risk-factors and protective factors in the individual, family, peer group, school, and environment that are predictive of, or insulate from, the development of antisocial behavior are described. Reviews of the relevant early intervention strategies-within the family, in schools, in multiple systems, and in the juvenile justice system-are discussed, including narrative descriptions of the most effective programs. The "principles for effective intervention" and proper program implementation are presented. Many early intervention programs have demonstrated positive, long-term effects for preventing and reducing serious, violent, and chronic delinquency. In light of this finding, far too many years have been squandered away on "get-tough" harsh, punitive policies that have not reduced crime-and at times have made matters worse by increasing recidivism rates. It should be instructive that no reputable doctor would impose a medical treatment that had not been shown to be effective. Similarly, no practical business would invest enormous sums of money into a venture that was not profitable. The juvenile and criminal justice systems should not be involved in such "correctional quackery" either. "Get-tough" has not worked; therefore, it is time to "get-smart." The time is now to design a broader, more comprehensive crime policy that encompasses families, schools, neighborhoods, and the juvenile justice system. The principal objective of the present project is to summarize what is known about early intervention, to discover if there is a need for early intervention programming, to review current early intervention approaches and their effectiveness, and to determine, based upon the empirical evidence, if early intervention-"child-saving"--Is a prudent correctional practice strategy.

The 2008 UK government Youth Crime Action Plan emphasises early intervention in work with young people who offend or considered to be 'at risk' of offending. This approach includes targeted work with families and a reduction in the numbers of young people entering the justice system. This report takes a critical look at early intervention policies.

After decades of rigorous study in the United States and across the Western world, a great deal is known about the early risk factors for offending. High impulsiveness, low attainment, criminal parents, parental conflict, and growing up in a deprived, high-crime neighborhood are among the most important factors. There is also a growing body of high quality scientific evidence on the effectiveness of early prevention programs designed to prevent children from embarking on a life of crime. Drawing on the latest evidence, Saving Children from a Life of Crime is the first book to assess the early causes of offending and what works best to prevent it. Preschool intellectual enrichment, child skills training, parent management training, and home visiting programs are among the most effective early prevention programs. Criminologists David Farrington and Brandon Welsh also outline a policy strategy--early prevention--that uses this current research knowledge and brings into sharper focus what America's national crime fighting priority ought to be. At a time when unacceptable crime levels in America, rising criminal justice costs, and a punitive crime policy have spurred a growing interest in the early prevention of delinquency, Farrington and Welsh here lay the groundwork for change with a comprehensive national prevention strategy to save children from a life of crime.

This book is concerned with the development of prevention policies and approaches that involve intervention 'early' in the lives of children, young people and their families, and explores new evidence that has been emerging from longitudinal and developmental prevention research. It addresses a number of key challenges, arguing that by broadening the research questions and exploring contributions from a wider range of disciplines our understanding of both the pathways into and out of crime and the type of interventions that might work will be greatly enhanced.

What are the cost savings from preventing a typical burglary, robbery, assault, or even a criminal career? Who benefits from these savings? How often do the benefits from preventing crime or criminal behavior exceed the resources spent on preventing or controlling crime? Is it more cost-effective to invest in early childhood programs or juvenile boot camps to reduce criminal offending? These are some of the important questions that face policymakers in crime and justice today. Answering them is no easy task. Nevertheless, it is important to provide answers in order to ensure that the dollars devoted to crime reduction are spent as efficiently as possible. The principle aim of Costs and Benefits of Preventing Crime is to report on and assess the present state of knowledge on the monetary costs and benefits of crime prevention programs. Remarkably, this crucial topic has rarely been studied up to the present time. This book examines key methodological issues, reports on the most up-to-date research findings, discusses international policy perspectives, and presents an agenda for future research and policy development on the economic analysis of crime prevention. Throughout, it addresses the important question of how governments should be allocating scarce resources to make crime prevention policy and practice more effective and to produce the greatest economic benefits to society. The book brings together research and perspectives from across North America, Europe, and Australia.
