Boot camps

  • parents who want to restructure their teen's attiude by not sending them to juvenile hall or punishing them for extending periods of time
  • the Boot Camps are designed to give juveniles the "tough love"
  • there are some that are usually excluded because they did crimes like; sex offenders, armed robbers, and youths with records of serious violence.
  • those who have failed with less severe sanctions, such as probation are sent to boot camp.
  • most juveniles are subject to a 90-120 day stay.
  • the mean goal of the boot camp is to " break down" the juvenile. To get them to return to their home and society being a good and productive member.

The Answer

  • The Census Department estimates that almost 7 million children 5 to 14 years old (or 18 percent of children in this age group) care for themselves on a regular basis. While only 8% of 8 year olds care for themselves, 14% of 10 year olds, 33% of 12 year olds, and 48% of 14 year olds care for themselves regularly before and/or after school. Reliable data are not available for high school students, but the numbers are certainly much higher.
  • After school programs keep children and teens safe and give them the opportunity to build on what they have learned during the regular school day, explore new interests, and to develop relationships with caring adults.[15]

Evaluations have shown that quality after school programs can:

Decrease juvenile crime;[16],[17],[18]

Decrease the likelihood that youth will be victims of violent crime;[19]

Decrease youth participation in risky behaviors, such as drug, alcohol, and tobacco use;[20],[21]

Lead youth to develop new skills and interests;[22]

Improve youth's grades and academic achievement;[23],[24],[25]

Encourage youth to reach higher in planning their futures;[26],[27],[28],[29] and

Increase youth's self-confidence and social skills.[30]

(After School Programs Reduce the Potential for Violence )

-As many as 15 million kids have no place to go after school. (Source: U.S.Census)

• More than 28 million kids have parents who work outside the home. (Source: U.S. Department of Labor)

• Parents themselves admit to regularly leaving more than 4 million middle school kids under the age of 13 to care for themselves for a few hours each week. (Source: Child Trends)

3.3 million children between the ages of 6 and 12 regularly spend time without adult supervision. Ten percent of all children between the ages of 6 and 12 use self-care as the primary child care arrangement.

• The hours between 3-6 p.m. on school days (referred to by law enforcement officials as a "danger zone") are the prime time for violent juvenile crime; this is also the time period during which kids are most likely to become victims of violent crime, be involved in all kinds of accidents, experiment with drugs or alcohol, and become pregnant

• Working mothers report that 3 -6 p.m. is the time of day when they most worry about their children's safety.

-After school programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire success among youth.

• After school programs have the power to reduce crime, increase safety, bring neighbors together, and foster community pride and ownership.
