Answer to Question 2

One of the most important institutions playing a role in delinquency prevention is the school. In schools across the country, there are more than 14,000 full-time police working as school resource officers.
In addition to helping make the school environment safe for students and teachers, school resource officers work closely with staff and administrators in developing delinquency prevention programs.
For example, these officers and liaison officers from schools and police departments have played a leadership role in developing recreational programs for juveniles. In some instances, police have actually operated such programs.
In others, they have encouraged community support for recreational activities, including Little League baseball, athletic clubs, camping outings, and police athletic and scouting programs. In short, these officers can make a great deal of difference in the lives of many youth.
The Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) program is one example of a police and school partnership to reduce delinquency.
Modeled after DARE, GREAT was developed among a number of Arizona police departments in an effort to reduce adolescent involvement in criminal behavior.
The program's primary objective is the prevention of delinquency and gang involvement. Trained police officers administer the program in school classrooms about once a week.
The program consists of four components: a 13-week middle school curriculum, a 6-week elementary school curriculum, a summer program, and family training.
