“…There is much research revealing the effectiveness of providing early intervention programming for young mothers, children and youth (see Crooks, Wolfe, Hughes, Jaffe & Chiodo, 2008;Mushquash et al, 2007;Olds et al, 1999;Sanders et al, 2003;Schweinhart, 2005;Turner et al, 2007). Friendship Centres across Canada deliver many similar programs as those described in much of the prevention programming literature (see Farrington & Welsh, 2007;Greenwood et al, 2001;Sherman, Farrington, Welsh, & Mackenzie & 2002;Sherman et al, 1997;Waller, 2006).…”

“…There is a large body of research evidence revealing that programs targeting young at-risk mothers can be effective in reducing child abuse. For example, one evidence-based project which is continually cited for its effectiveness is the Elmira (New York) Prenatal/Early Infancy Project (see Sherman et al, 2002;Sherman et al, 1997;Waller, 2006;Greenwood et al, 2001). This project was a randomized controlled trial which took a sample of 400 8 women in the Elmira, New York area who were low income (85%), unmarried, or younger than 19 years of age.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine prevention programs, and discuss their potential for having an impact on reducing crime and poor health outcomes for Aboriginal people. A historical context is first outlined in order to provide a context for understanding the disproportionate amount of crime and related poor health outcomes affecting Aboriginal people. Risk factors for crime and health are identified, demonstrating their interrelatedness and overlapping nature, indicating that risk factors do not existing in isolation from each other. Existing crime prevention programs are subsequently discussed, paying particular attention to the intersection between evidence-based outcomes and programs offered at Aboriginal Friendship Centres. The use of prevention programs for preventing/reducing crime and related health costs (i.e. substance use/abuse, smoking, and/or addictions) has been positively established by existing research. Thus, it is suggested that these programs offered in Aboriginal centres, such as Aboriginal Friendship Centres, should be furtherexpanded and supported.

“…The focus will be on young children with EHC plans, given the well documented need for effective early intervention as the best way to support long-term successful provision for children with developmental disabilities; The long-term benefits of intervening successfully at a young age are well known, both in terms of economic benefits for individual nations (e.g. Greenwood, 2018;Nores & Barnett, 2010), but also in terms of individual positive outcomes for children (e.g. Bakken, Brown & Downing, 2017;Heckman, Pinto & Savelyev, 2013;Campbell et al, 2012).…”

Résumé Cet article offre un aperçu des travaux scientifiques portant sur les programmes efficaces de prévention du crime et sur leur mise en oeuvre. Les évaluations scientifiques de projets de prévention du crime qui abordent des facteurs de risque montrent fréquemment qu’ils peuvent réduire la criminalité et que, souvent, ils sont plus efficaces à le faire que les réponses habituelles de la justice pénale. Les organisations intergouvernementales s’entendent sur les étapes-clés qui sont nécessaires pour en arriver à mobiliser les organismes concernés dans la lutte contre ces facteurs de risque. Malgré les recommandations de comités parlementaires et d’un nombre croissant d’experts, la prévention du crime n’est pas encore arrivée à jouer le rôle prépondérant qui pourrait être le sien afin de réduire plus efficacement les taux de criminalité au Canada. Toutefois, la politique récente annoncée par la province de l’Alberta suggère quelques avenues par lesquelles cette résistance pourrait éventuellement être surmontée.
