“Safe Passage” is an after-school intervention program for disadvantaged youth in a medium-sized city in southern California. Led by local law enforcement, as well as the city's recreation and park department, the program's goal is to combine community policing with after-school care and tutoring to support children living in a large apartment complex with the highest rates of gang membership and crime in the city. This is an exploratory study that examines the perspectives of various stakeholders in the intervention program, including the community members, the local police, and Safe Passage staff members. Survey data from the community residents, program staff and law enforcement were collected. Findings indicate that there was some consensus across the various subpopulations on the challenges that have had the largest negative influence on youth in the community. The local police and the community members surveyed were also in agreement that police/community relations were largely positive. All stakeholders surveyed felt generally positive about the intervention program, but the community members were more skeptical of the program's ability to deter their children from trouble. Implications of our findings for the program and for future studies are discussed.

提供更安全的通道：对弱势青年邻里干预计划的看法

“安全通道”是一项针对南加州中等城市弱势青少年的课后干预计划。在当地执法部门以及该市娱乐和公园部门的领导下，该计划的目标是将社区警务与课后托管和辅导相结合，以支持居住在帮派成员和犯罪率最高的大型公寓大楼中的儿童城市。这是一项探索性研究，审查干预计划中各个利益相关者的观点，包括社区成员、当地警察和安全通道工作人员。收集了来自社区居民、项目工作人员和执法部门的调查数据。调查结果表明，对于对社区青年产生最大负面影响的挑战，各个亚群之间达成了一些共识。当地警察和接受调查的社区成员也一致认为警察/社区关系在很大程度上是积极的。所有接受调查的利益相关者普遍对干预计划持积极态度，但社区成员更怀疑该计划是否有能力阻止他们的孩子陷入困境。讨论了我们的研究结果对计划和未来研究的影响。但社区成员更怀疑该计划是否有能力阻止他们的孩子陷入困境。讨论了我们的研究结果对计划和未来研究的影响。但社区成员更怀疑该计划是否有能力阻止他们的孩子陷入困境。讨论了我们的研究结果对计划和未来研究的影响。
