Ellen Hopkin’s daughter, Kristina, starts off as a sweet and innocent girl with great academic

The education strategy can also be used as a program where criminals learn the harm/damage they have inflicted into their victims, and hopefully not do it again (Crank, Kuykendall & Roberg, 2000). The fourth strategy is the community-building strategy; this strategy is mainly focused on enhancing the community’s relationship with police.
