Assignment:

The press release should address the media's concerns about the lack of effectiveness of the juvenile probation program and focus their attention on how the juvenile justice advisory board's new initiative will tackle this issue.
Include the following in the press release:
- an attention-getting introduction
- a brief description of the program
- how the program differs from the previous juvenile probation program
- how the new program reduces recidivism
- a brief explanation of community service, restitution, and the educational component that has been incorporated
- a mention of the targeted population of the program
- information on who can participate in the program and how volunteers can become eligible
Explain the components of community service, restitution, and education in your new juvenile probation program with appropriate research and examples. Explain how the new program differs from the old one, and in what manner it will reduce recidivism in juveniles with appropriate research and examples. Also use references/citation sources.
