Youth Car Theft Prevention
This project aims to tackle the recent rise in motor vehicle thefts among Newark’s youth by introducing programs that channel thrill-seeking behavior into positive outlets. The intervention will initially engage young people through go-kart racing, followed by individualized holistic support to provide healthier alternatives and reduce instances of car-jacking.
