Some prevention and intervention programs lower criminality, some do not. Programs that can deliver modest reductions in future criminal activity at a reasonable cost can have an attractive economic bottom line. Programs designed for juvenile offenders provide the largest and most consistent economic returns. Some prevention programs may take years to realize cost-reduction benefits. Programs evaluated are divided into five sections: early childhood programs, middle childhood programs, adolescent (non-juvenile offender) programs, juvenile offender programs, and adult offender programs.
