This compendium, a reference tool for all those concerned with reducing delinquency, violence and insecurity through prevention, contains some 20 new descriptions of innovative, promising and model prevention programs. Interestingly, in this second volume nearly half of the new descriptions pertain to programs that are found in Canada, either because they were developed in this country or because they have been successfully replicated here.
