Abstract
To address the pertinent need for justice reform in our country to reduce crime and criminal charges, some organizations and programs have turned to the arts as a tool to help at-risk youth. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the role that arts play in diversion-based and preventative-based programs for at-risk-youth. Research showed through the use of arts in these programs, individuals can reduce the risk of becoming involved in the justice system and lower their chances of repeated offenses. Additionally, programs have reported that the use of art in different forms has contributed to helping at-risk youth process their trauma to heal. Findings suggest that more research still needs to be done in order to collect the data that directly links the use of the arts to the success in the programs.
