Some of the programs listed on this website include the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency Program, the National Gang Center, Programs for Tribal Youth, the Safe Start program, and the Truancy Reduction Demonstration Program. Select at least five of the programs or initiatives listed on the OJJDP website and study the underlying philosophy associated with each. Consider the following questions as they relate to each of the five programs or initiatives you selected: (1) Which of these programs appear to be based on social process principles? On social development concepts?; (2) 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?
