Problem: The communities we live in are often devoted to providing resources and programs to support our youth. These programs are generally based on a criminological theory that offers a perspective on preventing and responding to delinquent behavior.
Research a program in Cottage Grove, Minnesota that supports youth. Provide a thorough summary of the program. Describe the population served by the program. Is it prevention, treatment, or both? How does the program incorporate restorative justice principles? Finally, determine what criminological theory the program is based on.
