Abstract

An essay on the involvement of the Juvenile Justice System in early intervention is presented. It discusses recommendations of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 and examines the usefulness of the Early Intervention Program (EIP) as compared to the Prosecutor's Early Intervention Program (PEIP), the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) and Girls Connection (GC). The author relates the importance of effective interventions for children from 6 to 11 years old.
