Therefore, early or “just in time” interventions are important components of a continuum of intervention responses available to professionals working with young people. Of course, such programmes must be designed to meet the needs of the young people involved. Much research has considered the individual and environmental factors that contribute to the development of aggressive or antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents. Multiple factors models suggest that various causal factors interact to result in an individual pathway to problematic social behaviour, or, at worst, offending behaviour (Shepard & Farrington, 1995; Withecomb, 1997). The idea that some factors contribute to the development or continued engagement in problematic behaviour more than others is, essentially, the basis of risk prediction tools. An assessment of the particular risk factors present for each youth should guide the intervention they receive within a best practice model. The purpose, nature and scope of this assessment may vary significantly across agencies and intervention contexts. Nonetheless, attention to assessment and planned intervention is a foundation of best-practice interventions. In terms of minor criminal behaviour, this means that the presence of particular individual or social risk factor that is correlated with risk of re-offending is assessed. Through ongoing research and recent clinical developments, more is known now about what works in reducing problematic or offending behaviour by youth than ever before. This research and clinical literature is reviewed as a part of this review and evaluation of the DARE to be You and Dare to Move On programmes provided by the DARE Foundation. The review concentrates on research findings and clinical reports that examine effective interventions for youth, including consideration of treatment components and aspects of programme delivery to establish the relevance and appropriateness of the goals, methods and materials of the two DARE programmes.
