SUMMARY:What’s really going on with youth crime in Abbotsford?
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat’s really going on with youth crime in Abbotsford?\nJoi
 n the Rotary Club of Abbotsford Sumas and UFV’s Community Health and Soc
 ial Innovation Hub for conversations around advancing equity in our commun
 ity.\n\nOur second speaker\, Dr. Darryl Plecas\, is presenting a talk titl
 ed What’s Really Going on with Youth Crime in Abbotsford.\n\nIf you’v
 e followed the news in recent times you might have been left with the impr
 ession that we have an increasing youth crime problem in Abbotsford and el
 sewhere across Canada. But a very different picture emerges once you have 
 the opportunity to consider what has been happening in terms of youth crim
 e in Abbotsford over time and in comparison to youth crime elsewhere in th
 e western world. This presentation will give you that opportunity. In doin
 g that\, it will also give you the opportunity to learn from our work at C
 HASI about the likelihood of an Abbotsford youth becoming involved in crim
 e in the first instance\, and the likelihood that Abbotsford youths will b
 ecome repeat offender\, prolific offenders\, and adult criminals. It’s r
 eally a good news story\, and one that could become even better with our h
 aving more targeted intervention approaches with those youth we should be 
 more concerned about.\n\nEntry is by donation\, in support of the UFV-SUS
  Food Bank\nJoin the guestlist here.\nDr. Darryl Plecas\, Professor Emeri
