- Abstract
- In recognition of the seriousness of the juvenile firesetter problem nationally, the Institute for Social Analysis was contracted by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the U.S. Fire Administration to conduct the National Juvenile Firesetter/Arson Control and Prevention Program (NJF/ACPP). This developmental initiative is designed to assess, develop, test and disseminate information about promising approaches for the control and prevention of juvenile firesetting and arson. This manual follows the format of the other materials developed under this program. It will discuss an early intervention and referral program in the context of the seven components ISA feels are critical to the success of any juvenile firesetter program.
