The
National Crime Prevention Council is sponsoring a program called
Youth Outreach for Victims of Violence. Citing statistics that youth are twice as likely to be the victim of a violent crime as adults, the NCPC wants to mobilize "teams of youth and adults to create public awareness campaigns in their communities". The goals for each specific site are to
:- Form a team of youth and adults to design and implement a new camapign
- Identify a specific teen victimization issue that it will address
- Plan and implement a project to educate teens on the issue. These projects may be radio public service announcements, poster campaigns, websites, workshops, school assemblies, and so on.
