Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The answer should include the following points:
 Anne Newton has identified three levels of delinquency prevention:
 primary prevention
 secondary prevention
 tertiary prevention
 A number of primary and secondary prevention programs have been conducted since the beginning of the twentieth century, using neighborhood groups, the family and school environment, youth gangs, and social and mental health agencies as points of intervention. Unfortunately, the results of most of these programs have been disappointing.
 More recently, a number of programs have been developed that promise to be more effective in preventing juvenile crime, including juvenile violence and drug abuse.
 Promising prevention programs include Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Bully Prevention Program, Functional Family Therapy, Incredible Years, Life Skills Training, Midwestern Prevention Project, Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care, Multisystemic Therapy, Project Toward No Drug Abuse and Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies
