Crime Prevention Month Action Kit 2007–2008: Protecting Children and Youth From Crime

Protecting children and youth from crime is one of society’s most important priorities. One of the best ways to do this is to teach kids sound crime prevention habits and encourage them to share these habits with friends, family, and their entire peer group. Protecting Children and Youth From Crime provides strategies and materials to help youth learn how to protect themselves from such crimes as identity theft and teen dating violence, as well as how they can share these strategies with their community with crime watches, workshops, mentoring programs, and service-learning projects. This year’s kit, which is in a 12-month calendar format (November 2007–October 2008), includes reproducible brochures, information on McGruff licensed products, and an extensive list of crime prevention-related websites to be used in everyday outreach, newsletters, targeted media campaigns, and public service announcements. To order a copy, call 800-NCPC-911 and ask for Item K21E. Single copies are free, bulk copies are $2 each.
