judicial and legal services1 nearly a #bac-percent increase since #aihb4 7#g7 ,estimates suggest that each year the ,united ,states incurs over #h1jjj1jjj1jjj in long-term costs for the confinement of young people4 ,the average annual cost to incarcerate one youth is #adf1cjb4 7#h7 ,coordinated efforts of stakeholders in the juvenile justice system in a local community1 together with other organizations and community members concerned with the safety and welfare of children1 have a strong record of demonstrated success in reducing the impact of youth and gang-related crime and violence1 as demonstrated in ,boston1 ,massachusetts2 ,chicago1 ,illinois2 ,richmond1 ,virginia2 ,los ,angeles1 ,california2 and other communities4 7#i7 ,investment in prevention and intervention programs for children and youth1 including quality early childhood programs1 comprehensive evidence-based school1 after school1 and summer school programs1 mentoring programs1 mental health and treatment programs1 evidence-based job training programs1 and alternative intervention programs1 has been shown to lead to decreased youth arrests1 decreased delinquency1 lower recidivism1 and greater financial savings from an educational1 economic1 social1 and criminal justice perspective4 7#aj7 ,quality early childhood education programs have been demonstrated to help children start school ready to learn and to reduce delinquency and criminal street gang activity risks4 7#aa7 ,evidence-based mentoring programs have been shown to prevent youth drug abuse and violence4 7#ab7 ,evidence-based school-based comprehensive instructional programs that pair youth with responsible adult mentors have been shown to have a strong impact upon delinquency prevention4 7#ac7 ,after-school programs that connect children to caring adults and that provide constructive activities during the peak hours of juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity1 between #c p4m4 and #f p4m41 have been shown to reduce delinquency and the attendant costs imposed on the juvenile and criminal justice systems4 7#ad7 ,states with higher levels of educational attainment have been shown to have crime rates lower than the national average4 ,researchers have found that a #e-percent increase in male high school graduation rates would produce an annual estimated savings of #ah1ejj1jjj1jjj in crime-related expenses4 7#ae7 ,therapeutic programs that engage and motivate high-risk youth and their families to change behaviors that often result in criminal activity have been shown to significantly reduce recidivism among juvenile offenders1 and significantly reduce the attendant costs of crime and delinquency imposed upon the juvenile and criminal justice systems4 7#af7 ,comprehensive programs that target kids who are already serious juvenile offenders by addressing the multiple factors in peer1 school1 neighborhood1 and family environments known to be related to delinquency can reduce recidivism among juvenile offenders and save the public significant economic costs4 7#ag7 ,there are many alternatives to incarceration of youth that have been proven to be more effective in reducing crime and violence at the ,national1 ,state1 local1 and tribal levels1 and the failure to provide for such effective alternatives is a pervasive problem that leads to increased youth1 and later adult1 crime and violence4 7#ah7 ,savings achieved through early intervention and prevention are significant1 especially when noncriminal justice social1 educational1 mental health1 and economic outcomes are considered4 7#ai7 ,the prevention of child abuse and neglect can help stop a cycle of violence and save up to #e4jj for every #a4jj invested in preventing such abuse and neglect4 7#bj7 ,targeting interventions at special youth risk groups and focusing upon relatively low-cost interventions increases the probability of fiscal benefit4 7#ba7 ,evidence-based intervention treatment facilities have been shown to reduce youth delinquency and to be cost-effective4 7#bb7 ,states1 including ,wisconsin1 ,ohio1 ,new ,york1 ,texas1 and ,pennsylvania1 have seen a reduction in juvenile incarceration due
