Prevention and Intervention Bill Proposed Services and Activities I. Introduction One of the most pressing and depressing topics in the news today is the subject of crime. The crime rate across our nation and in the State of Florida continues to grow as more and more juveniles turn to a life of crime. Many law ablding citizens believe`and strongly advocate that the solution is to build jails and lock those involved in criminals activities,up and keep them there. That kind. or theory is not without Ws good reasoning. However history tell us that this theory is not working. The cost of building prisons continues to rise. The need for prisons and prison beds continue to grow. The cost of housing a prisoner, now and estimated $32,000 a year per prisoner, continue .to escalate and the return to prison rate of released inmates continues to be to great. In this day and time, it is not enough to lock them up. Those experts who study our criminal justice system are preaching crime prevention and intervention programs. It is time we start listening to these people and try something different. It is 'obAous our current system isn't working. Our law enforcement officials are working around the clock in an effort to control, crime. They are doing the best job that they can. However, they cannot do it alone. More importantly we cannot afford to continue to lose so many of this nations most valuable resources to a life of crime. That resource being our children.
