The report finds that after-school is the prime time for juvenile crime. It shows that after-school programs greatly reduce the prospect of risky behaviour. High quality after-school programs keep school-age kids out of trouble, helps them get along with others and succeed in school. The report challenges policymakers to ensure every community can offer all its families quality after-school programs.
