Abstract
The focus thus far in this volume has been on tertiary interventions; that is, interventions directed toward youths already exhibiting antisocial behaviors and already involved with juvenile justice systems. We have also had occasion to see the immense social, emotional, and monetary costs sometimes associated with these antisocial activities. These costs relate to the harm done to the victims of crime, negative consequences for the youthful offender and their families, and the maintenance of juvenile justice and correctional systems. It is important to consider these costs because they should emphasize for us the value of considering the efficacy of providing services to individuals, families, and communities that might serve to prevent the appearance of these problems in the first place.
