Summary
"In this final report, a new pre-criminal intervention approach to youth violence is recommended, resulting from ISIS 2009’s global comparative study themes of Community Profiles, Roles and Responsibilities, Strategies, Initiatives and Programs, Community Perspectives, Local Tolerance for Violence and Future Plans. This proposal is based on similar observations, gathered independently from around the world, and will give Canada the opportunity to act early to avoid what many other nations have encountered. If adopted, Canada has an opportunity to build on the capacity challenges highlighted last year by ISIS 2008 by refocusing policing efforts and embracing this pre-criminal intervention model."--text from Executive Overview.
