This book investigates the Youth Police Initiative (YPI)
intervention with a comprehensive look at its effects in Boston as
well as Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that has both rich
community networks as well as the highest crime rate in New York
City. Based on a phenomenological approach, The Case for Youth
Police Initiative: Interdependent Fates and the Power of Peace
offers first-person narratives of youth, police, and community
members in Brownsville as the YPI program was put into action
Police shootings and other negative exchanges between community
members and the police have brought heightened awareness to the
volatile relations between communities and police. The North
American Family Institute began the YPI in Baltimore in 2003 with
the ambition of keeping vulnerable youth away from arrests, gangs,
guns, violence, and death. The program has been replicated in
several communities in the United States and beyond. The focus of
YPI training is to address the dual challenge of teaching youth the
skills to resolve daily conflicts with authority while also
teaching police officers to have meaningful dialogue with young
people. The voices of the stakeholders reveal changes in attitudes
and actions from before, during, and after YPI's implementation. A
comprehensive illustration of the intervention's arc provides the
reader with an in-depth, textured perspective of what it takes to
prevent pernicious eruptions of tension between police and the
community they are charged to serve and protect. YPI's success in
addressing tensions between youth and police in Boston and
Brownsville, Brooklyn, maps out a blueprint for progress in other
communities. Suitable for scholars and researchers in juvenile
justice, law enforcement, psychology, and social work as well as
practitioners on the front lines, The Case for Youth Police
Initiative will provoke dialogue on best practices for changing the
volatile climate between police and the youths in their
communities.
