Description
Week 5 focuses on the actors in the juvenile court process. The first point of contact for many juvenile offenders is with law enforcement. The old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies to both community policing and problem-oriented policing. Community policing establishes a link between law enforcement officers and community resources to reduce crime and delinquency. With the internet and social media being so popular these days, many law enforcement agencies are choosing to “go digital” as they work with the community. This assignment focuses on social media and law enforcement as they keep their community safe from crime and delinquency.
