Answer to Question 1

The answer should contain the following points:
 Crossover youths have a higher recidivism rate than non-crossover juveniles.
 Oberst contributes that half of crossover youth experience extreme poverty in adulthood, and crossover youth are 1.5 times more likely to receive welfare.
 According to Oberst, crossover youths should be targeted with housing support, education, employment services, and mentoring, if the county and the state are to avoid a lifetime of public dependency by this highly vulnerable population.
 Better education and mental health treatment are two ways evidence suggests that crossover youth can achieve a better overall performance.
 To implement these targets, more funding would be needed, but the long-range benefits outweigh the costs at the onset of juvenile problems.
