Abstract

The South Australian Blue Light Youth Camp program is a crime prevention program involving young people, local police officers and youth workers. The three parties collectively explore ideas, issues and possible crime prevention strategies in a camp setting. May discusses different aspects of the program, including its rationale, aims, objectives and effectiveness.
