In my opinion, these programs not only raise awareness but also help create a sense of community among students. By working on such initiatives, we can not only raise awareness but also address juvenile delinquency risks at an early stage, ultimately contributing to a safer community. The use of evidence-based practices and risk-focused prevention, as mentioned in the readings further strengthens the case for our active involvement in these programs. Additionally, participating in MOOCs to support CTC is a great way to promote community-wide awareness of juvenile justice best practices and extend our learning beyond traditional classroom settings.
