You may use data from 2016, 2017 or 2018. This is a typical assignment for the development of programs for children and requires some critical thinking,data collection and problem solving . YOU WILL NEED TO CUT AND PASTE LINKS.

There are rich resources at your fingertips. Analyze some of what you read and make recommendations for programs that would be alternatives to incarceration or that suggest successful prevention. Be creative BUT link to what others have found to be successful! There is no point to learning what you have learned this semester if you can’t think of ways of advocating in the best interest of children!
