Summary
"The present Frame of Reference addresses educational institutions and police
forces. It first concerns youth in schools, adaptations being necessary for adult
education centres. It aims to promote a joint and effective action when the
presence of the police is appropriate in an educational establishment or requested
by one. Although it encourages the implementation of actions and prevention
programs, this framework also clarifies the rules which should prevail during a
police intervention."--Page 5.
