The Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program is a school-based prevention program that seeks to eliminate juvenile delinquency, youth violence and gang involvement. Law enforcement officials facilitate the program in school settings. The primary goal is to lower victimization levels and risky behaviors, as well as to change how community members see gangs and respond to police enforcement. The program also has a family component to help strengthen family relations and facilitate better decision-making and overall communication.
