Ventura County's youth projects receive about $2.5 million annually

August 6, 2006

Here are programs within Ventura County's Probation Agency that are partially or fully funded by the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act. Some of the programs involve multiple agencies.

Repeat Offender Prevention Program

Joins probation officers with therapists and substance abuse specialists in intensive monitoring and treatment. The program targets children younger than 15 who exhibit risk factors associated with chronic delinquency.

Expanded Early Intervention

Probation officers provide monitoring and services aimed at reducing the risk factors associated with delinquency. Officers work with young, first-time offenders likely to reoffend.

Aftercare Day Reporting

Provides a combination of highly structured supervision, services, and parental involvement to reduce the high failure rate and relapse usually experienced by children coming out of custody or group home placement. Includes substance abuse counseling, family counseling and GED tutoring.

Gang Violence Prevention

Probation and police officers and the community-based service provider work to prevent and suppress gang activity. The program targets youths who have court-ordered conditions of probation that prohibit association with gang members, and those who are at high risk of joining gangs.

Enhanced Institutional Services

Community-based, gender-specific intervention and treatment programs for male and female youths in custody.

Truancy Habits Reduced Increases Vital Education

School Attendance Review Boards and Ventura County district attorneys meet with habitual truants to identify ways to improve attendance.
