- Abstract
- This User's Guide is designed to be used with The Juvenile Firesetter/Arson Control and Prevention Program Guidelines for Implementation. These materials were produced as part of a two-year developmental initiative designed to assess, develop, test, and disseminate information on promising approaches for the control and prevention of juvenile firesetting and arson. The Guidelines for Implementation outlines specific strategies for program management, screening and evaluation, intervention services, referral mechanisms, publicity and outreach, monitoring systems, and developing relationships with the justice system. It also provides resource materials gathered from many juvenile firesetter programs. The Trainer's Guide describes how to use the information in Guidelines for Implementation, as well as other resources, to develop a comprehensive juvenile firesetter prevention training workshop for the various agency professionals who work with juvenile firesetters. The Trainer's Guide includes a detailed curriculum for the training program and provides strategies for modifying the curriculum to meet specific needs, selecting instructors, selecting participants, and using instructional materials.
