TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - The school relations bureau: a program of police intervention JO - Criminal justice and behavior A1 - Clements, Carl B. SP - 358 EP - 371 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - A number of police-school liaison efforts have been reported, many of which focus on delinquency prevention and improved police-youth relations. This paper presents a general rationale for police prevention-diversion programs and describes a three-year project in which police teams were assigned to schools. Program features included job-specific training, supervision and consultation by a full-time psychologist, and numerous informal police-youth contacts. Student and teacher acceptance was high, most officers successfully moved into helping roles, and several specific benefits accrued to students. Keywords: Juvenile justice
