88 Counties To Establish Community Programs
c-igniy-eignt North Carolina
counties have joined in a
statewide effort to establish
community programs for
North Carolina's children in
trouble.
At a meeting held last week
to announce participating
counties, the Technical Advi
sory Committee on Delin
quency Prevention and Youth
Services appointed subcomm
ittees to begin work on finding
funds and evaluating possible
I
programs
According to Pitt Dickey,
director of planning for the N.
C. Division of Youth Services,
negative responses came from
only three counties - Curri
tuck, Pasquotank and Per
quimans counties. Nine coun
ties, Dickey said, had not res
ponded.
Judge A Lincoln Sherk,
chairman of the technical ad
visory committee, said "The
committee is pleased with the
number of county commis
sioners in North Carolina who
have shown their concern
about the state's children in
trouble and are intrested in
considering community pro
grams. We are encouraged
now that through the coordi
nated efforts of both county
and state, we can not only
decrease the number of
children in our state training
schools, but can significantly
reduce the number of juvenile
w
offenses in North Carolina "
Thirity-six states are now
assigning greater percentage:
of their youthful offenders tc
community-based residential
and non-residential programs
instead of state training
schools. The community pro
grams receive both state and
federal aid in funding. North
Carolina is one of only six
states in the nation which has
no state-aided community
programs for its youth at this
time
Groundwork for the deve
lopment of community pro
grams in North Carolina
began when the General
Assembly made it illegal for
children who have committed
no crime (status offenders) to
be sent to the state's training
schools after July 1977.
