Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

 Intervention programs are focused on teenage youths considered to be at higher risk for engaging in petty delinquent acts, using drugs or alcohol, or associating with antisocial peers. Interventions at this stage are designed to ward off involvement in more serious delinquency.
 Many jurisdictions are developing new intervention programs for teenage youths.
 An example is the Big Brother Big Sister program, which matches an adult volunteer with a youngster.
 Similarly, in the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's Mentoring Initiative for System Involved Youth (MISIY), responsible and caring adults volunteer their time as mentors to youths at risk for delinquency and dropping out of school, as well as youths involved in the juvenile justice system, foster care, and reentry programs.
 The mentors work one-on-one with the youths, offering support and guidance.
 Job training, through the likes of Job Corps and YouthBuild U.S.A., is another important intervention that receives government funding and has demonstrated positive results in reducing delinquency.
 Efforts are also being made to deter youths from becoming involved with gangs, because gang members ordinarily have higher rates of serious violent behavior.
 Student views will vary.
