What corrective action is recommended for the community domain?

The recommended corrective action for the community domain is focused on increasing the use of prevention and diversion services. This approach emphasizes addressing issues before they escalate into more serious problems that could lead to juvenile incarceration. Prevention services can include community-based programs that aim to support at-risk youth and their families, while diversion services provide alternatives to formal processing through the juvenile justice system.

Utilizing these services can help reduce the likelihood of re-offending and can contribute to more positive outcomes for juveniles by providing them with the resources and support they need to make healthier choices. This proactive approach aligns with the broader goals of restorative justice, which prioritize rehabilitation over punishment and aim to reintegrate juveniles into society as productive members rather than cycling them through detention facilities.

In contrast, other options such as increasing incarceration rates, enhancing imprisonment facilities, or building more juvenile detention centers do not address the underlying issues that lead to juvenile delinquency and do not contribute to a long-term, positive impact on the community or on the youths involved.
