Description
This document presents discussion on the Juvenile Crime Control and Delinquency Prevention Act (H.R. 1150) and provides testimonies of experts with first-hand knowledge of quality delinquency and violence prevention programs. An opening statement from Representative Mike Castle (Delaware) related the problem of children who become involved in at-risk activities such as drugs, alcohol, and crime, and the disturbing numbers of those children who enter the juvenile justice system each year. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of quality after-school programs that encourage children's involvement in a variety of educational and enrichment activities. Testimony was presented by Jesse Sligh, Executive Assistant District Attorney, Queens County District Attorney's Office, New York; Karla Ballard, Arise International; Vincent Schiraldi, Executive Director of the Center for Juvenile and Criminal Justice; Sandra Mc Brayer, Children's Initiative of San Diego; Barbara Ott, Silver Spring YMCA Youth Services; and Robert Smith (accompanied by Jesse Armetta), Director of Youth Services Agencies of Pennsylvania. An appendix contains the prepared statements of the witnesses. (GCP)
