This paper looks at how there are many institutional methodologies targeted at dealing with and preventing
youth crime and how some institutions and officials favor coercive measures, while others encourage
developmental and assessment
programs that promote problem solving. It evaluates how the Police and Citizen's Youth Club of Australia is an example of a developmental institution or agency. It examines how it is an organization formed of sergeants and volunteers, whose purpose and philosophy encourages the use of positive
reinforcement as a means to prevent and address youth criminal activity. The organization does not use force and severe regulations to prevent youth crime, but rather uses
education and
recreational activity to turn youths away from potentially harmful activities.
