Social pressures create {Youth
Alienation}, leading to youth developing bad behaviours and committing crimes. This
attracts {Police Enforcement} who will, in turn, engage the {Community
Leadership} where they introduce programs that are designed to assist youth to
prevent re-offending through the development of {Community Clubs}, which then
contributes to {Community Development}.
{Police Enforcement} collaborates
with {Educational Institutions} to boost retention, which translates to socio-economic
progress through {Community Development}. On the other hand, criminals are
detained and put through the {Court} system, where the offenders are removed
from the community through {Imprisonment}. This results in a stable and safe
environment, which aid support for {Community Development).
The role of {Community
Leadership} in the system, particularly at the grassroots will result is huge
savings in the economy, aiding economic growth. The {Community Leadership}
collaborates with the {Employment & Justice Agencies}, translating into
socio-economic progress {Community Development}
The Community Development Model
This model provides an understanding into the relationships and links between a range of variable units and fixed units, and how {Community Development} is supported.
As {Youth Alienation} rate increases, the {Crime} rate increases (both variables) demands police enforcement. {Police Enforcement} is a fixed variable as increase in police force is fixed over a period of time.
To increase efficiency, engages or collaborate with:
•{Community Leadership} (fixed and variable) – is fixed for a certain period, and becomes variable as youth criminal activities increases
•{Court} (variable) – as youth criminal activities increase, the court resources reman fixed. It then removes some offenders from the community and imprison them, creating peace and stability in the community
•{Educational Institutions} (variables) – as student retention increases, more institutions are needed.
Variables that are linked to the {Community Leadership} which include;
•{Youth Sports Clubs}
•{Employment & Justice Agencies}
•{Economic Preservation; and}
•{Educational Institutions}
Contribute/support {Community Development}. These are variables, as more youths are referred or engaged.
The {Community Leadership} and {Police Enforcement} collaborate, support and design community programs to reduce youth criminal activities, which could potentially reduce the justice system expenditure.
The relationship between these fixed and variable units create a sustainable Community Development.
