Brittany Aponte
Composition II
What Is The Problem?
The crime rate in Savannah has risen within the past 5 years and is only getting worse
Out of theft, robbery, vandalism, shootings and assaults, theft has is the highest rated crime in Savannah
Urban neighborhoods in Savannah and surrounding areas are more impacted by crime because of the poverty rate and careless residents not wanting to make a change
What Is The Solution?
The Chatham County Police Department need to join with neighborhood watch teams and enforce neighborhood safety
Many people believe that in order to lower the crime rate in Savannah, we must focus on our future which are our youth.
Early childhood programs should be enforced in schools where speakers from different backgrounds can mentor the youth at an early age

Benefits Of Mentoring For Young People
Mentoring is one constituent of a program that involves tutoring or life skills, preparation and coaching. The healthy, compassionate relationships formed between mentors and mentees are immediate and long-term and contribute to a host of benefits.
A study showed youth with mentors were less likely to begin using drugs or alcohol during the eighteen-month period of the study than their peers. 6.2% of youth with mentors initiated drug use compared to 11.4% of their peers without mentors, and 19.4% initiated alcohol use compared to 26.7% (Tierny et al., 1995).
Mentees in the BBBS program were 32% less likely to report getting violent toward someone over the past year than the young people without mentors (Tierny et al., 1995).
