C ommunities play the primary role in preventing juvenile delinquency and the criminal victimization of juveniles. Working to engage all community members – business leaders, media representatives, teachers, parents, grandparents, young people, policy makers, clergy, elected officials and law enforcement – is vital for ensuring the health and wellbeing of children. When all members of the community work together to achieve common goals, everyone benefits from the strength of a working relationship. The Lake County Juvenile Justice Council strives to engage Lake County youth resources to prevent and discourage juvenile crime. Funding provided in whole or in part by the Illinois Department of Human Services. 2 Produced by the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office/Juvenile Justice Council June 2015 Materials can be copied and distributed.
