"Based on nine months of research, data analysis and investigation into dozens of successful programs around the nation, Less Hype, More Help: Reducing Juvenile Crime, What Works--and What Doesn’t shows that America has the knowledge to substantially reduce youth crime and violence without a substantial increase in spending. Unfortunately, the research also shows, the reforms that will solve the problem are not being widely used." "Supported by the Walter S. Johnson Foundation, and written by Richard Mendel, the report was released by the American Youth Policy Forum in partnership with a broad coalition including the National Urban League, the Child Welfare League of America, the National Crime Prevention Council, the Coalition for Juvenile Justice, the National League of Cities and the National Collaboration for Youth."

The FAST Track program is based on the hypothesis that improving child competencies, parenting effectiveness, school context and school-home communications will, over time, contribute to preventing certain behaviors across the period from early childhood through adolescence. This program has a strong base of research evidence for its effectiveness and has been highlighted by many evaluating agencies as a model for supporting youth development.

This study, conducted by NDPC/N, and sponsored by Communities In Schools Inc., finds that there are multiple risk factors which increase the likelihood that students will drop out. The evidence clearly shows that dropout is always the result of a long process of disengagement that sometimes begins before the child enrolls in kindergarten. The report also provides information on 50 programs that were found to be effective in addressing these risk factors. C. Hammond, J. Smink, & S. Drew: National Dropout Prevention Center. D.

"Even though the vast majority of cyberbullying behaviors take place off school grounds, they very often make their way back into the school. In fact, many adolescent problems these days either begin at school and progress online or are initiated online and continue at school. Like it or not, educators will frequently have to deal with repercussions of disagreements or problems that began or escalated a great distance from the school house doors."

"The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's Model Programs Guide (MPG) is designed to assist practitioners and communities in implementing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs that can make a difference in the lives of children and communities. The MPG database of over 200 evidence-based programs covers the entire continuum of youth services from prevention through sanctions to reentry. The MPG can be used to assist juvenile justice practitioners, administrators, and researchers to enhance accountability, ensure public safety, and reduce recidivism. The MPG is an easy-to-use tool that offers a database of scientifically-proven programs that address a range of issues, including substance abuse, mental health, and education programs."

This witty post (cracked.com folks) draws important attention to the tendency for over-reaction and over-policing of youth in the name of school safety. Nothing scientific, just basic common sense writing about ridiculous policies taken on in efforts to police children's behaviors. It actually comes as no surprise to me that this post has had 872,847 views in less than one day. Kudos to the writers, perhaps we should try the same approach in our advocacy campaigns to bridge the gap between research and practice!
