Executive Summary:
Direct Staff to research and produce detailed recommendation (pros/cons) of how City of Fayetteville can further our municipal priority of addressing juvenile crime through afterschool programs at Massey Hill Rec Center to positively impact students at Howard Learning Academy.
Calculate annual cost to taxpayers of incarcerating a single youth; estimates of $112,555 for incarceration vs the $4k-$5k to serve one child in a high-quality afterschool program.
Background:
Issues/Analysis:
1. Review Presenter materials from 11/17/23 NLC ATL seminar: Furthering Municipal Priorities Through Afterschool Programs.
2. Review South Salt Lake City on the Move that achieved juvenile crime rate reduction by ~70%.
3. Corroborate sources that show: OST Programs have been shown to reduce violence and victimization involving youth, particularly between the critical hours of 3PM and 6PM. Incidents of violence by juveniles are 5x's more likely to occur after school hours than 10P and later.
