As with many social issues, there is a multifactorial effect in place that influence behaviors or decisions made by people. This brings about the challenge of policy makers and researchers to name what they consider the key issues based on the limited findings available. The findings are limited because of previous state outlooks on who is considered a juvenile or minor and the defining age range for young adults varies in research. The Council of State Governments (2005) related the confounding distinctions of some states trialing youth as adults in ages ranging from 16, 17, and 18 (p. 1).

It doesn’t consider the general nation population as a whole, only state inclusive findings but this serves as a steadfast finding in what could happen if policymakers focus more on the young adults and juveniles preventions for arrests.
In this essay, studies in the categories of therapy, easier educational access, job skill training, substance use prevention, are investigated on increasing its effectiveness to the young adult population in lowering violent crime arrests or high-risk behaviors. High-risk behaviors are also examined due to the correlation of risky behavior associated with poor judgement-based decisions and exposure to crime related
