Evaluative Research of a Community-Based Crime Prevention Program
Abstract
The research was conceived and conducted during a period of unprecedented social change. The existence of significant social problems, such as poverty, racial and ethnic discrimination, drug addiction, crime and delinquency, and mental illness, continue to erode pride and confidence in the moral and philosophical foundations of the democracy. Voices of discontent raise a discordant crescendo composed of angry outcries of resentment toward cultural inequities and pleas for relief from the painful realities of everyday living. Bitter prophets of despair preach invectives of destruction, retaliation, and rebellion. Contemporary American society is suffering through the turmoil and trepidation of an agonizing confrontation between existing social institutions and the revolutionary forces of social justice. The future direction of social change is in doubt but not the inevitability of the change.
