The evaluation of three Communities That Care projects in the UK
journal contribution
posted on 2006-11-28, 09:47 authored by Iain Crow, Alan France, Sue HackingCommunities That Care (CTC) projects seek to improve community security by reducing the
risk of young people becoming involved in problem behaviours. The evaluation of the first three
projects established in England and Wales found that two of the projects were not implemented as
intended. The one that was implemented showed indications of having had a positive impact on
the factors associated with problem behaviour for children living in the CTC area, compared with
children from the same schools who did not live in the area. The research raises important issues
about the implementation of community-based programmes based on a risk factor model, and
the lessons to be learned from initiatives that focus on preventing the development of problem
behaviour by early intervention with children.
