Blue Light
Web site: http://www.bluelight.com.au
Blue Light is an international program in which every State and Territory in Australia participate. Blue Light aims to assist the police to rectify the imbalance of pro-active and re-active policing where young people are concerned. It does this by providing young people with positive lifestyle alternatives and strategies to avoid becoming an offender or victim of crime.
The Pathways to Prevention project: developmental prevention in a disadvantaged community
Pathways to Prevention began in 2001 and involves family, school and community in a set of planned interventions with four to six-year-old children, aiming to prevent them from deveoping anti-social behaviour in their adolescence and early adulthood. Early results from this project are promising, according to a report released in mid-September, which showed that the behavour of boys in particular improved significantly, as did their school readiness. The report is described in the Australian Insitute of Criminology's regular series, 'Trends and issues in crime and criminal justice', n.323, at: http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/tandi2/tandi323.html and its authors are Ross Homel, Kate Freiberg, Cherie Lamb, Marie Leech, Sam Batchelor, Angela Carr, Ian Hay, Rosie Teague and Gordon Elias.
