%X To make a serious dent in delinquency, we must shift our focus from problem-focused (numerator) approaches to universal (denomina- tor) approaches. If young people are to develop attachments to society and to societal norms, they must be provided opportunities to participate, learn, earn, and serve their community and their country. A National Youth Service program is an effective way of providing all American youth constructive opportunities to make significant contributions to society and to be rewarded for them. Such a program is a prime example of a denominator approach to youth development.<p />
