ABOUT YOUTH CRIME WATCH

PREAMBLE:
Youth Crime Watch of Nigeria was established due to crime in schools and community, improper dressing that leads to raping, dangerous driving among the youths and also violence acts in the environment

WHAT IS YCW?
Youth Crime Watch is a youth-led Organization that represents the School, the Community and you. It is a ′positive gang′ or family that changes the mood of the school and community. YCW is a force working to make schools and communities crime-free, drug-free and violence-free. Youth Crime Watch is not just a program. It's a philosophy of ′watching out, helping out′, positive peer pressure, respecting people, taking responsibility for one's own surroundings and just plain good citizenship.

MISSION OF YCW:
To create a crime-free, drug-free and violence-free environment through a youth-led movement.

OUR GOALS:

1. To provide crime-free, drug-free, violence-free school and community environments for learning and living.
2. To instill positive values, foster good citizenship and build self-confidence in our young people.
3. To enable youth to become resources for preventing crime, drug use and violence in their schools and neighbourhoods.

THE COMPONENTS?

The key components of YCW are the fundamental building blocks for the program.

1. CRIME REPORTING AND COMMUNICATIONS - A crime reporting system that allows individuals to report (usually confidentially) information linked to suspicious or criminal activities and other violations defined by their local organization to adults who take on the responsibility for taking appropriate action.

2. YOUTH PATROLS - Youth Patrols encourage crime prevention by patrolling designated areas to report suspicious or criminal activities and other violations. They help identify and provide early warnings of real threats provide a visible example of leadership and are a deterrent to wrongful activity. (NON-CONFRONTATION IS ESSENTIAL).

3. CRIME, DRUG AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION EDUCATION - Crime, Drug and Violence Prevention Education is formal or informal training that addresses the facts and consequences that accompany crime, drugs and violence in your life and teaches prevention methods in an effort to change attitudes, knowledge, and behaviours in you and your community.

4. MENTORING - Mentoring brings together a carefully selected mentor with a mentored person, a mentee, to achieve common goals by building a one-to-one relationship or partnership that focuses on the needs and development of the mentored person.

5. CONFLICT RESOLUTION - Conflict Resolution gives you as an individual the rules for maintaining positive relationships and methods for peaceful problem solving that help you use your conflicts to learn, think and understand better.

6. MEDIATION - Mediation provides improved conflict resolution between individuals by including trained and neutral mediators to assist them in developing their own mutual solutions.

7. PEER AND CROSS-AGE TEACHING - Peer and Cross-Age Teaching provides you the training and resources necessary for you to begin sharing your knowledge and skills with youth and adults of all ages, often more effectively than formal teaching.

8. ACTION PROJECTS - The Action Project component of YCW provides the opportunity for youth to design and execute any kind of project to address the safety concerns of the school and community.

Youth Crime Watch is based on the belief that safety and security of the school or community is the responsibility of everyone.
