Step 1: Conduct research.
Search the Internet for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention website.
http://www.ojjdp.gov/mpg/ or http://www.ojjdp.gov/programs/ProgResults.asp
Browse the site to learn about programs and initiatives supported by OJJDP. Some of the programs listed on
this website include:
Causes and Correlates of Delinquency Program
Drug-Free Communities Support Program
Juvenile Mentoring Program
Safe Futures Program
Strengthening America’s Families initiative
Step 2: Choose five programs.
Select at least five of the programs or initiatives listed on the OJJDP website and study the underlying
philosophy associated with each.
Step 3: Consider the following questions as they relate to each of the five programs or initiatives:
Which of these programs appear to be based on social process principles? On social development concepts?
Are there any programs listed on the OJJDP site that seem to be built on assumptions drawn from social
structural approaches? If so, which programs?
Step 4: Classify the five programs.
Classify each of the five programs or initiatives according to its theoretical underpinnings.
Are these programs successful?
How does the particular social process theory that the program subscribes to add or take away from that
success?
