Presentation in seminar "The 25th Baltic Criminological Seminar. The Challenge of Crime in the Globalized World", 13 April 2012, Tallinn
This document discusses various views on human sexuality and sexual morality from a Christian perspective. It addresses topics like premarital sex, masturbation, pornography, and cohabitation. Three main views on premarital sex are outlined: the natural impulse view, which sees sex as a pleasurable physical act; the affection view, which believes sex should be guided by intimacy between partners; and the abstinence view, which prohibits sex outside of marriage. The document also discusses sexuality within marriage and debates topics like how far physical intimacy can go before marriage.

This document discusses the issue of modern-day human trafficking and slavery. It notes that there are an estimated 27 million people currently enslaved worldwide, more than at any other time in history. Human trafficking is a $32 billion industry that exploits victims for forced labor, sex work, and other forms of exploitation. While trafficking occurs all over the world, the document outlines that it is a particular problem in the United States, with over 100,000 women and children trafficked into the country each year. Steps that individuals and organizations can take to fight human trafficking are presented.
JUVENILLE DELINQUENTS ACCROSS NEPAL - Term paper ram sundar singh
This document discusses juvenile delinquency in Nepal. It begins with introducing the topic and definitions. It then discusses several sociological theories that aim to explain juvenile delinquency, focusing on social learning theory and how family and peers can influence delinquent behavior. The document provides background on the history of juvenile courts in the United States and how they aimed to rehabilitate rather than punish youth. It states the objectives of the study are to examine delinquency trends among school children and street children in Nepal and identify factors leading to delinquent behaviors. It notes that in the U.S., juveniles account for a substantial percentage of arrests each day.
Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal acts committed by minors. There are four major risk factors that contribute to juvenile crime: substance abuse, family issues, personal issues, and easy access to drugs. To prevent delinquency, a harmonious family environment, support and supervision from parents, and facilities/extracurricular activities at school are important. Curative efforts involve actions from police and legal authorities to address symptoms of delinquency, while empowering youth can prevent re-offending. Neglect, abandonment or abuse can push a child toward criminal acts despite their normal capacity for obedience and morality.
This thesis analyzes the mandatory reporting provisions in South Africa's Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act 7 of 2013 regarding child victims of trafficking for labour exploitation. It examines the challenges for laypersons in identifying child trafficking due to complex definitions. It assesses the reporting standard imposed and whether related processes uphold the best interests of the child. The research finds that while definitions pose difficulties, reporting and police powers can protect children if implemented properly. It recommends clarifying definitions and guidelines to strengthen identification and reporting of child trafficking situations.

Creating Trauma Safe Schools - Effects of PTSD in learning and educationMichael Changaris
This presentation explores the impact of PTSD on learning and education. It offers tools for educators, parents and families to increase learning, growth and development for the 10's of 1000's of children and adolescents who suffer from PTSD.
This document discusses trauma and mental health concerns associated with refugees, asylees, and immigrants. It defines key terms like refugees, asylum seekers, and persecution. It notes that refugees often experience trauma from pre-migration events, the migration process, and challenges resettling in a new country. Common mental health issues for refugees include PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Screening tools are important to properly assess trauma history and mental health symptoms in refugee populations.
The social, cultural and historical context od aboriginal and torres strait i...Dr Lendy Spires
This document provides historical context on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. It discusses the history of colonization and its devastating impacts, as well as the resilience of Indigenous Australians in struggling for equality, cultural recognition, and self-determination. It briefly outlines key aspects of pre-colonial Indigenous cultures, the diversity of Aboriginal language groups and kinship systems, and the unique culture and history of Torres Strait Islanders. The document also discusses the periods of resistance to colonization and forced adaptation to shifting government policies over time.
This document discusses health culture and practices among Indian immigrants. It outlines that India has a large and diverse population facing major health challenges like infectious and cardiovascular diseases. When Indians immigrate to New Zealand, they initially display healthier profiles than locals due to selection biases, though health declines over time with reduced physical activity and diet changes. Barriers to healthcare include language issues and unfamiliarity with the New Zealand system. Developing cultural competence among providers, understanding traditional Indian practices, employing visual communication methods, and involving family can help improve healthcare for Indian immigrants.
Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for commercial sexual exploitation, forced labour, or slavery. It is a lucrative criminal industry and one of the key drivers is poverty. Victims are typically young girls who are vulnerable to being targeted by traffickers. While females are most commonly trafficked, men and children can also become victims. Statistics show over 800,000 people globally are currently living as slaves to human trafficking.
Human trafficking specifically focusing on sex trafficking in Australia. A research base presentation conducted in November 2010 to highlight the issues and raise limitations. Provide useful resources, reference and how to's.
Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal acts committed by minors. Some key factors that may contribute to delinquent behavior include poverty, family problems, low intelligence, hyperactivity, and social learning by imitating criminal behavior. Common delinquent acts include substance abuse, gang involvement, vandalism, and early sexual activity. Interventions to address delinquency include juvenile courts, special school facilities, family support, rehabilitation facilities, and community programs. While complete prevention is unrealistic given research finding 20% of youth offend, societies aim to curb delinquency over time.
This is a small non supported presentation I put together to help open the door on Mental Health issues with young people aimed at ages12-18. All information is taken from the NHS or other accredited sites. It is for awareness and not a medical tool, as I am no professional in this area. Any feed back is welcome and please bare in mind it is awareness based information only and I have kept it simple and straight forward for easy of those receiving the information. There is an additional handout with useful information and contact details
Psychological First Aid is a supportive intervention designed to reduce distress following traumatic events and foster adaptive functioning. It involves 8 core actions including contact and engagement, safety and comfort, stabilization if needed, gathering information on needs, providing practical assistance, connecting to social supports, providing information on coping, and linking to additional services. It is a modular approach delivered in diverse disaster settings by mental health and other disaster response workers to help survivors, including children, adults, and first responders, in the immediate aftermath of events.
The Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) is a system in England and Wales that aims to protect vulnerable adults from abuse. It is outlined in the 2000 Care Standards Act and administered by the Department of Health. POVA puts bans on individuals who have harmed vulnerable people from working in care. Vulnerable adults include those over 18 who require support due to disabilities, illnesses, substance abuse issues, or other circumstances. POVA defines several types of abuse - physical, sexual, psychological, financial, neglect - and provides guidelines for recognizing, reporting, and responding to abuse to help protect vulnerable groups.
1. In the Old Testament, fidelity and monogamy were not highly valued for men, who had multiple wives and concubines. Jacob had two wives and two concubines.
2. In the New Testament, Jesus allowed for divorce in some situations and taught that relationships should be centered around God. Paul taught that people should remain celibate unless married to resist sexual desires.
3. Most Christian traditions, like the Roman Catholic and some Protestant churches, believe sex is only permissible within marriage and should be oriented toward procreation rather than pleasure. However, other liberal traditions allow sex within committed relationships.
The document discusses stigma associated with mental illness. It notes that stigma involves negative stereotypes and attitudes that label people with mental illness as less worthy. These attitudes are perpetuated by misrepresentations in media and a lack of understanding. The document outlines various factors that contribute to stigma, including fear, economic issues, lack of treatment facilities, and cultural beliefs. It also discusses the negative impacts of self-stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion that people with mental illness often face. Interventions like social contact and education are mentioned as ways to potentially help address stigma.
This document outlines the Post-2015 Dialogues on Culture and Development consultation process organized by UNESCO, UNFPA and UNDP to inform the elaboration of the Post-2015 Development Agenda. National consultations were held in 5 countries in 2014 and global consultations included a call for papers, e-discussions and thematic events. The consultations discussed how culture can contribute to achieving sustainable development, particularly within the themes of culture and poverty reduction, culture and education, culture and gender equality, culture and sustainable cities, culture and environment, and culture and inclusion. A final event was held in Florence, Italy in 2015 to conclude the Dialogues.
Social deviance refers to any violation of established social norms, whether through informal minor transgressions or more formal crimes. Social control mechanisms aim to encourage normative compliance through both informal social sanctions and formal laws and punishments. Sociological theories offer different perspectives on deviance, with structural functionalism viewing it as a disruption to social cohesion and interactionist theories examining how social labeling can influence behavior and identity.
This document summarizes several influential social psychology experiments:
1) The "halo effect" demonstrates that positive global evaluations of a person, like being likable, can influence judgments of their specific traits, like being intelligent.
2) Studies of cognitive dissonance show that people interpret information in ways that support their own views and rationalize immoral behaviors.
3) The Stanford prison experiment found that participants took on roles assigned to them as guards or prisoners, conforming to expected behaviors even when abusive.
4) Milgram's obedience experiments surprisingly showed that ordinary people will inflict harm on others when ordered by an authority figure, demonstrating the power of conformity.
Prevent Human Trafficking is a non-profit organization working to end human trafficking in Southeast Asia and the United States. It empowers individuals and organizations through support and technical assistance. It also raises awareness of trafficking through education programs. It partners with organizations like Pattay Home for Street Children in Thailand to provide shelter and support for victims.
This was a lecture given during the CME activitiy for POGS Region 7 by the Philippine Infectious Disease Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology (PIDSOG) at Casino Espanyol in Cebu City.
The document discusses various youth-related crimes occurring in society such as graffiti, robbery, violence, and drug dealing. It notes that these crimes are often a result of peer pressure, parental influence, and stress. It suggests that if these crimes continue to increase without intervention, the future of education will be negatively impacted.
Institutional aggression refers to aggressive behavior that occurs within institutions like prisons, hospitals, and military bases. Such institutions restrict behavior and control individuals through their roles and rules. Two major explanations have been proposed for aggression in prisons - the importation model suggests aggression stems from inmates' social backgrounds outside prison, while the deprivation model argues situational factors within prison like crowding, boredom, and loss of privacy are more responsible for causing aggression.

This document discusses juvenile justice reforms in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) region over the past decade. Some key achievements include:
1) Governments have increasingly committed to comprehensive juvenile justice system reform and improved transparency.
2) Legislation in most countries is now in line with international standards regarding issues like sentencing and use of detention.
3) The principle of using detention only as a last resort is increasingly recognized in law and policy, resulting in declining detention rates in some countries.
4) Diversion and mediation schemes are developing, though remain limited in most countries.

The International NGO Council on Violence Against Children has launched it latest report, "Creating a non-violent juvenile justice system". This report is a follow-up to the 2006 UN Study on Violence against Children. This report has been written to address the growing epidemic and global magnitude of the violence being experienced by children in juvenile justice systems. Whilst aspiring to clarify the many ways in which governments are failing to protect children in conflict with the law, the report also presents a non-violence vision of juvenile justice.

This document provides an overview of the topic of juvenile delinquency. It discusses what juvenile delinquency is, types of juvenile offenses, factors that contribute to delinquent behavior, and approaches to explaining delinquency such as social disorganization theory and social control theory. The document also covers the development of juvenile delinquency, types of juvenile delinquency (e.g. crimes, status offenses), and social and economic factors related to delinquency such as family issues, poverty, and lack of opportunities. Finally, it discusses the characteristics and types of social movements.
The document summarizes a study comparing juvenile crime in the Veneto and Sicily regions of Italy. It conducted a case-control analysis to examine the relationship between poverty, economic crisis, and juvenile crime. The study collected data via questionnaires from 257 juvenile offenders in Sicily and 159 in Veneto, and matched this with control data from consumption and living standards surveys. Using a Bayesian sampling approach, the study found the sample to be representative. It analyzed differences in socioeconomic characteristics, social relationships, and consumption between the case and control groups to identify causal risk factors for juvenile crime.
The document summarizes Latvia's efforts to prevent youth crime through multi-disciplinary cooperation and social inclusion programs. It describes several initiatives between 2011-2015 that focused on early prevention by assessing risks for children and families, developing activities to address needs, and promoting cooperation across institutions. Evaluation found these approaches helped reduce antisocial behavior by engaging communities, schools, families, and at-risk youth.
Crime prevention is an important issue that requires cooperation between communities and police. Effective crime prevention strategies include community policing where police and the public work together through activities like neighborhood watch programs. Prevention programs target at-risk youth and repeat offenders to help reduce recidivism and curb criminal behaviors. While increased policing has impacted crime rates, long-term solutions require a collaborative approach between law enforcement and social services.

The document outlines key legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures in the UK related to safeguarding children and young people. It discusses the recruitment process for staff which includes an application, interview and criminal records check. It states new staff will receive support and training. Reporting procedures are also outlined, indicating unsafe situations must immediately be reported to managers and proper authorities contacted as needed like the Local Authority Designated Officer. Records of all contacts and decisions must be documented. Staff are advised on how to respond if a child discloses abuse, which is to listen without showing shock, making promises or investigating on their own.
Creating a Non-Violent Juvenile JusticeThomas Müller
Child Helpline International is part of the "International NGO Council of Violence against Children", which developed this report. This report from creates an enriching
vision of a non-violent juvenile justice system.
The vision is no more than the fulfillment of states’
obligations under international law to create a distinct
and separate justice system which takes account of
the special status of the child, focuses exclusively on
rehabilitation and reintegration and protects the child
from all forms of violence.
The NSPCC is a UK charity that aims to prevent cruelty to children. In 2014, they reached out to 278,700 children through school programs. They work to prevent, protect from, and help children recover from abuse. For £600, the NSPCC School's Service can educate one class of primary school children about abuse signs and where to seek help. They also run campaigns to help parents keep children safe.

Abstract
The Juvenile Justice Systems has been established with a significant aim of diverting adolescent offender’s destructive punitive actions of criminal courts as well as encouraging youth rehabilitation that is based on the needs of an individual juvenile. This system differs from adult criminal courts in numbers of ways. It looks at an adolescent as a person who needs assistance, instead of looking at the act that made him or her appearance before the court. The judge ought to act in the best suitable interests of the child. Juvenile court proceedings were always closed to the public. Juvenile records were also to remain very confidential so that they do not to interfere with the ability of the child or adolescent to be rehabilitated and merged back into the society. Juveniles are never charged with any crimes, instead of with delinquencies. They are never found guilty but instead, are considered delinquent. They are never sent to prison, but rather to training schools or reformatories. Treatment that incorporates the provision of educational facilities for juvenile offenders, counseling, and guidance, etc. are far better off than punishments that involve prison sentences or fines. This is so because a child would feel loved and cared for. This element plants a seed of love into the juvenile offender’s heart making him or her better person. On the other hand, however, punishment makes them more aware of their criminal character because it gives them what they deserve. They live in self-condemnation.

Law enforcement agencies have an obligation to communicate with the public about their operations to maintain transparency and public trust. They must balance this duty with safeguarding confidential information. Developing a media plan for high-profile operations can help provide sufficient information to minimize public disruption and speculation while presenting the agency's perspective. Without a media plan, there is a risk of inconsistent messages, media interference, and damage to investigations if information updates are delayed. When speaking to the media, agencies must consider whether discussions are on or off the record and follow principles of being fair, accurate, relevant and timely.

The document summarizes findings from a study on teaching history in Latvia. It notes that since 2013, Latvian and World History are taught as separate subjects according to national standards. However, teachers from minority schools say students want more world history taught to understand global events. Students also have trouble connecting historical events in Latvia to world history. The document recommends raising awareness of cultural diversity, maintaining knowledge of world history and cultures, and encouraging cooperation between stakeholders to improve history teaching.
This document discusses factors that contribute to effective anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). It identifies five key conditions for an ACA to be effective: having political will and autonomy; a clear mandate to investigate, prevent, and educate; sufficient powers and safeguards; strong internal capacity; and support from other government and non-government entities. Effective ACAs earn public trust through high-profile convictions, complaint intake, and public opinion surveys. While structural changes may not address internal issues, analyzing an ACA's strengths and weaknesses can help identify gaps other organizations could fill to support the ACA's work.

Youth at risk
1. Youth at risk:
Achieving change
through development of
early intervention and
diversion tools
Ilona Kronberga
Researcher,
Centre for Public Policy PROVIDUS
2. Youth, children, or minors?
It is generally believed that the separation of
those concepts plays an important role in
crime prevention, but in reality it only makes
sense when we think about responsibility and
the punishment. If we think about prevention,
these concepts blend into one – this is just a
person whom we must help to grow up. Our
own future is highly dependent on our ability
to carry out this task .
3. If our aim is to keep young people away from harm caused by crime –
prevention is related to all groups of young people!
Child, adolescent, minor, young adult
5. What does it mean – Youth at risk?
«80.Young people who live in difficult
circumstances are often at risk of becoming
delinquent. Poverty, dysfunctional families,
substance abuse and the death of family
members have been demonstrated to be risk
factors for becoming delinquent. Insecurity due
to an unstable social environment increases
vulnerability, and young people with poorly
developed social skills are less able to protect
themselves against the negative influences of a
peer group.»
United Nations World Youth Report (2005)
http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unyin/wpayjuvenile.htm#WYR2005
6. Actually we can add some new risks:
Adults can
influence
processes
If a child feels
well in his family,
there is no risk
8. How does all this link to prevention?
(1)
Prevention is a much broader concept than
generally considered.
Concept of children's crime prevention is
contained in children's rights violation
prevention concept.
These observations work in both cases when a
law is violated by a child (adolescent or young
person) as well as when the rights of a child
(adolescent or young person) are violated.
9. How does all this link to prevention?
(2)
In case when we face a situation in which we
should punish the child, as well as in a
situation when the child has become a victim
or witness of crime, the result is equal –
mechanisms of prevention have not worked.
We have faced conditions that impedes a
normal development of the child – in one case
it is trauma, but in the other – punishment.
10. Which part of the children it is possible to reach
now with preventive mechanisms, but which is
not available?
11. Description of the current situation in Latvia or
why do we need to change anything?
«The child should be blamed for the commission
of the specific criminal offence, the state and
the community should be held guilty for
creating circumstances under which the child
has decided to resolve his/her problems at the
expense of the community in violation of
criminal legal taboos.»

12. Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on The prevention of juvenile
delinquency. Ways of dealing with juvenile delinquency and the role of the juvenile justice
system in the European Union
Juvenile delinquency is currently an aspect of crime
causing growing concern in European societies and
has, since the last century, been under continuous
scrutiny on an international scale. It should
however be pointed out that young people's
behaviour often has a greater impact than that of
adults, especially if it is negative, thus prompting
society to take a particularly adverse view of young
offenders. It is also useful to note that in many
cases the victims of juvenile delinquency are
young people themselves.

13. Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on The prevention of juvenile
delinquency. Ways of dealing with juvenile delinquency and the role of the juvenile justice
system in the European Union
As a result, the importance that European
society attaches to juvenile delinquency
means that effective responses must be
found, which will have to be built principally
on a three-fold foundation:
• prevention,
• punitive-educational measures, and
• the social integration or re-integration of
minors and young offenders.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52006IE0414:EN:HTML
14. There are many different reasons or
circumstances that can prompt a minor to
commit a crime:
• A broken home, or even difficulty in balancing
family life and work, both of which
increasingly often result in a lack of attention
and an absence of constraints and control for
children.
• Socio-economic marginalisation or poverty,
which also makes it difficult for the minor to
integrate properly into society.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52006IE0414:EN:HTML
15. Why do children commit crimes:
(1)
• Truancy and academic failure: at school, this
already leads to labelling or social
stigmatisation, which often paves the way for
antisocial behaviour or delinquency.
• Unemployment, which is at its highest among
young people and often leads to situations of
frustration and despair, creating a breeding
ground for delinquent behaviour.
• http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52006IE0414:EN:HTML
16. Why do children commit crimes:
(2)
• The broadcasting of violent images and
attitudes by certain programmes via some
media, or videogames for minors, which helps
to create a system of values among young
people in which violence is seen as acceptable
behaviour.
• http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52006IE0414:EN:HTML
17. Why do children commit crimes:
(3)
• Abuse of alcohol, drugs and toxic substances
which often causes the addict to commit
crimes in order to support his/her addiction.
• Personality and behaviour disorders, either in
association with or independently of the
factor outlined in the previous point.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52006IE0414:EN:HTML
18. Why do children commit crimes:
(4)
• Shortcomings in the teaching and passing on
of social and civic values — such as obeying
rules, solidarity, generosity, tolerance, respect
for others, critical self-awareness, empathy,
high standards of work, etc., which are being
replaced in our "globalised" societies by more
utilitarian values like individualism,
competitiveness or hyper-consumption —
which in certain circumstances can generate a
degree of detachment from society.
20. Juvenile Justice instruments in Latvia
are currently fragmented:
«National systems of law are at various
development levels – in some countries due to
the rapid development of Juvenile Justice has, in
actual fact, become an alternative to the
traditional criminal justice (a), in some countries
it has been positioned as a sub-branch within the
frame of criminal justice (b), while in some
countries, including Latvia, it is understood only
as a set of some favourable peculiarities that is
applicable to juvenile delinquents (c).»

22. Law On Application of Compulsory Measures of a
Correctional Nature to Children...
… is only one diversion tool from the traditional adult liability system
which provide the following compulsory measures:
1) to issue a warning;
2) to impose a duty to apologise to the victims if they agree to meet
with the guilty party;
3) to place a child in the custody of parents or guardians, as well as
other persons, authorities or organisations;
4) to impose a duty to eliminate by his or her work the consequences
of the harm caused;
5) for a child who has reached the age of 15 and who has income – to
impose a duty to reimburse the harm caused;
6) to specify behaviour restrictions (to visit certain public areas...);
7) to impose a duty to perform community services; or
8) to place a child in an educational establishment for social
correction.
The problem is that with only few exceptions, this law is rarely applied.
23. Part I
Conclusions:
• Only by developing Juvenile Justice it is already likely to get
effective tools of diversion;
• Juvenile crime prevention grows from child protection policy;
• To have success in children crime prevention we must understand
that all age groups of children can be exposed to risk situations and
related behavioural risks;
• The greatest prevention should be done at the place where the
child lives – from the birth to adulthood;
• When the police must be involved, the major part of prevention
possibilities is already lost;
• Inclusion and mitigation of social exclusion is not a task which WE
have to do for THEM, it is vital to our joint tomorrow;
• To achieve effective prevention, every written law has to work.
24. ...and now I would ask you to
(Back to slide 6)
remember previously mentioned...
...almost none of the
above mentioned
reasons/risks do not
apply to police
jurisdiction!
25. Therefore the question is – who
must be responsible for the
children delinquency prevention?
We had asked ourselves this question a couple
of years ago
26. ...and now you will see what we have
found out!
Preventive measures with young people should be
taken in each municipality before a law is
violated or especially when a crime is committed
but the situation actually turned out to be
different:
• in many cases in Latvian local municipalities
social workers do nothing and wait for law
enforcement agencies to get clients (minors)
from them after the law violation fact.
27. Preventive measures with young
people – problems and difficulties (1)
In the Ombudsman's report on children's rights
in 2011 in Latvia it was indicated that: in 7
municipalities from 119 nobody does
preventive work with children at risk and in
risk situations (a); only in eight municipalities
it is the responsibility of the Interinstitutional
commission (b); in many cases the creation of
Interinstitutional models was refused from
local governors, even without going into these
matters...
http://www.tiesibsargs.lv/lat/tiesibsargs/jaunumi/?doc=366
28. Preventive measures with young
people – problems and difficulties (2)
mainly this work has been done by the social
workers who, at the same time, are responsible
for all social issues – old people, disabled people,
poor and large families etc. (c);
in many cases, a municipality has only one social
worker who is overloaded with responsibilities
(d);
there are cases when the preventive work is a
responsibility of officials who do not have any
knowledge and skills (e).
29. Taking into account all the above
mentioned
for the second year in Latvia the
Interinstitutional method of early intervention
for prevention of juvenile delinquency has
been approbated.
What is the Interinstitutional method – It is a
children's rights protecting (including child
delinquency prevention) method, which is
suitable for use in the place where the child
lives – local municipality.
30. Interinstitutional
cooperation method
is a professional cooperation among different institutions particularly to
improve the child's living environment
31. Interinstitutional
cooperation method
In the municipalities in which we are introducing the new
method, Inter-Inst working groups meet once every 2
weeks;
It consists of professionals who are working in the local
area with and for children;
Specialists in this collaboration gain greater capacity for
their professional duties and peer support;
Particularly, it is important to manage the consequences
of economic crisis, when everyone feels the lack of
resources, especially professionals working in rural
areas.
32. Each working group:
• is attended by all local law enforcement,
education and other professionals who are
working with or for children;
• examines all known issues on children with
behavioural risks;
• defines the risks, identifies children and their
parents who will be invited to the next meeting;
• in cooperation with parents identifies children's
needs and develop children's behavioural
programme.
34. Children's behavioural programme (2)
If we say: «That is not the best way how to
behave,» we must have something to offer. A
programme to replace wrong behaviour.
For this reason, local governments have established
the catalog of meaningful activities for youth.
Using this activity book, a behavioural programme
for the next 8 months is created for every young
person. For each minor the task description is
given. Minors should report on each performed
task and this is evidenced by the activities
teacher's signature in his or her diary.
35. Children's behavioral program (3)
When the program is finished children's needs
and risks are re-evaluated.
Thus, parents, teachers and children's affairs
professionals have the opportunity to judge
any further work with these children.
(from 33). To new program
• Needs and risks
assessment
• Next decisions
Back to normal life
36. Children's behavioral program (4)
Implementation of such a program in the
municipality requires to set up and develop
certain instruments - keywords:
Risk and Catalogue of
Inter-Inst
need useful
Working
Assesment activities
Groups
System
The Program Cooperation
management Framework
and control for local
system professionals
37. Part II
Conclusions:
• Delinquency prevention is not a task that can be
distributed among the institutions. This must be
done using a multidisciplinary approach;
• Prevention efforts need to be done in place
where child / adolescent / young person /
juvenile living in;
• In each municipality need to be established
children's behavioral program, which includes all
above mentioned tools.
