This course focuses on developmental prevention to construct a framework for thinking about the prevention of crime and associated problems at the individual, family and local level. Students will examine the challenges associated with developing and implementing evidence-based programs for disadvantaged communities. This will involve consideration of the influences of multiple risk and protective factors as well as strategies to empower local residents and change developmentally relevant institutions and social policies. Assessment will include developing a proposal for a relevant developmental crime prevention project. Students will be required to demonstrate knowledge of relevant theory, methods for intervening in developmental pathways, and implementing and evaluating projects.
