Director General |

Today
we are at the threshold of a major change in our society. We
must ask ourselves a realistic question; What is more
important to our society, to protect one person from the evil
of the crime or to accuse forty people before the courts? |

Conference in Vienna |

To find
the answer to this simple question in a post communist
country, where policing was part of the political doctrine, it
is more than just a theoretical exercise.
We
believe that Crime
Prevention is the responsibility of every citizen.
First of all, our organization provides the forum for the
parents and their children to address those issues together.
Secondly, we provide crime prevention training for
parents, educators, law enforcement personnel, legislators,
and the general public in hope that they will utilize this
knowledge in their communities. And thirdly, our Program
Coordinators and Crime Prevention Practitioners, organize and
supervise our volunteers trough their crime prevention
activities and fundraising.

The most valuable resource that
every community has is it's children. It is the responsibility
of all of us to provide our children with knowledge, support
and trust so they can attain their dreams and become
responsible members of our global society. This is the reason
why GC-JPV members so
proudly display on their uniform shoulder patch: "KEEP
YOUR DREAM ALIVE".
Pear programs are effective way
to establish a trust between the youth and adults, and the
youth itself.

War
Against Corruption |
|
Since
the mid-1990s, the issue of corruption has gained a prominent
place on the global agenda. International organizations,
including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) and the UN, have adopted conventions
requiring that their members enact laws prohibiting bribery
and extortion. International financial agencies, notably the
World Bank, have announced programs aimed at ensuring fair and
open contracting for their projects and stopping
misappropriation by government officials. Most nations have
enacted some type of anticorruption law. International
business groups have promulgated model codes of behavior, and
multinational corporations (MNCs) now claim to be implementing
antibribery programs. The international media report instances
of corruption in high places virtually every day (often at
great risk). Read
