Teens, Crime, and the Community
If you would like to support NCPC's work with Teens, Crime and Community or any other campaign, please click here.
The Teens, Crime, and the Community (TCC) initiative has motivated more than one million young people to create safer schools and neighborhoods. TCC's Community Works program helps teens understand how crime affects them and their families, friends, and communities, and it involves them in crime prevention projects to help make their communities safer and more vital.
