Which program aims to deter youth from gang involvement and violence?

• A. Gang Resistance Education and Training
• B. Drug Abuse Resistance Education
• C. Crime Stoppers
• D. Minneapolis Domestic Violence Experiment

Answer: (A)

G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) is a school-based program delivered by police officers that aims to deter youth from gang involvement and violence. It teaches students skills to resist peer pressure, make positive decisions, resolve conflicts nonviolently, and pursue constructive activities, helping them avoid gangs and related violence. This focus on resisting gang membership sets it apart from the other options: D.A.R.E. centers on drug abuse prevention, Crime Stoppers is a crime-reporting program, and the Minneapolis Domestic Violence Experiment studies policing deterrence in domestic violence cases.
