Scholars and policymakers increasingly call for evidence-based,
prevention-oriented, and community-driven approaches to improve
public health and reduce youth crime, substance use, and related
problems. However, few functional models exist. In Communities that
Care, four leading experts on prevention describe one such system
to illustrate how communities effectively engage in prevention
activities. Communities That Care (CTC) is a coalition-based
prevention system implemented successfully in dozens of communities
across the world that promotes healthy development and reduces
crime rates for youth. Drawing on literature from criminology,
community psychology, and prevention science this book describes
the conditions and actions necessary for effective community-based
prevention. The authors illustrate how effective community-based
prevention can be undertaken by describing how the CTC prevention
system has been developed, implemented, evaluated, and disseminated
across the U.S. and internationally. Communities that Care shares
invaluable lessons about the implementation and evaluation of
community-level interventions and establishes a set of best
practices for anyone seeking to engage in and/or evaluate effective
prevention efforts.
