  2. WHY MCC? WHY NOW?

  3. United States Facts • The United States has among the highest incarceration rates in the world. • Reporting at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association (August 3, 2008), sociologists at Bowling Green State University found that men who attend college are more likely to commit property crimes during their college years than their non-college-attending peers. • Michigan Facts • In 2006 there were 5,350 reported cases of weapons arrest in the state of Michigan alone. • In Michigan dropout rates by high school, range from zero percent to a high of 30 percent.

  4. Facts about Genesee County and Flint Michigan

  5. Genesee County is number 2 in the state of Michigan for Syphilis. • (The number of cases of infectious syphilis in Genesee County this year continues to climb past the highest numbers ever recorded in over 20 years, surpassing 100 cases. To date there have been 109 reported cases in Genesee County. ) • The department of Human Services is trying to raise awareness about sexually transmitted diseases since the number of cases being reported continues to rise. "Genesee county is considered one of the high prevalence counties in the state," said Director of Community Health Programs. And the numbers aren't getting better. The state says in the first three months of 2008 there were 476 cases of people living with either HIV or AIDS. In 2007, there were 460 cases, and in 2006, there were 434 cases reported • In 2006 the Flint Police Department arrested 12 people for murder, 25 people for rape and attempted rape, 137 people for robbery, 158 people for motor vehicle theft, 293 for carrying a weapon, and 1,804 people due to narcotic violations.

  6. Sociological Theory Says… • The social environment is the cause of criminal behavior, with weak or broken bonds to family, school, and religion being the catalyst to criminal behavior. • People engage in criminal behavior because they do not see the benefits of adhering to conventional social values, and believe crime is a way to improve personal social conditions. • Interactionist Theory Says… • Association with other criminals is the factor most contributing to criminal behavior among individuals. • Failure of self-direction, and inadequate social roles are the root causes of criminal behavior.

  7. Both theories’ solutions express that… • Positive alternatives divert peoples’ actions away from criminal activity and create a sense of belonging, competence, and empowerment. • Social programs that change the cultural and social conditions thought to lead people into crime are the best solution. • Offenders have the responsibility and ability to change their own behaviors. • Opportunities for positive interaction with society will enable the criminal, or would be criminal, to choose productive and lawful behaviors to meet needs.
