A juvenile offender is held accountable in the system of juvenile system, and once it is found out that he/she has committed an offence, he or she is held responsible through sanctions or consequences of the act, imposed according to the law (Brier, 1995). These consequences or sanctions are applied swiftly, consistently, and surely. They are aimed at providing effective and appropriate responses to different levels of seriousness of the offences and offender work based chronics in order to control, prevent and reduce further violations of law.
Therefore, it is important to use such proven programs and the best practices in order to enhance the safety of schools. On the other hand, the procedures for safe school planning have to incorporate all stakeholders; these are teachers, parents, community and the government. Proven Programs and Best Practice Proven programs are ideals that have been successful in their when they have repeatedly been used (Brier). They have yielded positive results, shown by environment of safety school. On the other hand, best practice is ideal of management that believes in the presence of a method, technique, activity incentive, reward or process of effectively delivering a certain outcome, unlike any other method, technique or process.
These are basically the most effective and efficient in accomplishing a task. They are centered on procedures that have repeatedly proven themselves for many people over time. Aim of Proven School Safety Programs The main aim of proven programs is the enhancement of school safety by ensuring that students are accountable for their behavior. Brier observes that this enables constructive well-conserved development of accountability, together with juvenile offenders programs that are used by agents of law enforcement, or those that are designed by officials of law enforcement to protect schools and student personnel from gang, drug and youth violence.
This offers a safe working and learning environment for teachers, staff and students, without forgetting the wider community (Trump, 2000). Lack of empirical data has hindered the effectiveness of prevention programs that have demonstrated success signs in school safety. This is because relating collection of such information is seen as using limited resources uneconomically. Schools are therefore rethinking this position, in the aim of improving the success of this program. With increase in the cost of school budgets, funders are not ready to support this program, in prevention of violence, without viable data that clearly shows their promise and effectiveness.
Assessment is continued, when the program is running, and changes that allow new developments and improved outcome. Evaluation of such data can effectively be used in support of funding requests for such programs. Safe Schools Safe schools are schools whereby students’ violence has been curbed, through the enhancement of students’ individual responsibilities. Safe schools provide a peaceful working and learning environment for both teachers and students (Brier). On the other hand, safe school planning refers to the process of creating a safe school.
This is made possible through education, disciplinary measures as well as working together with juvenile offenders programs that are used by agents of law enforcement, or those that are designed by officials of law enforcement, that creates cohesive living between students themselves, teachers and community at large. Safe school is achieved
