Abstract

This study aimed to identify the impact of localizing youth initiatives in the Ministry of Youth centers on reducing crimes from the perspective of the Ministry's employees in Al-Karak governorate. The study used an analytical descriptive approach, where the researcher developed an instrument to measure the level of localizing youth initiatives and another instrument to measure the impact of youth initiatives on reducing crime occurrence. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in the perceptions of the participants concerning the impact of youth initiatives in reducing crime attributed to gender and marital status. However, there were differences attributed to years of experience in favor of more experience, and to educational qualification in favor of a bachelor's degree. The study found that the level of localizing youth initiatives in the ministry of youth centers was high. Further, the impact of youth initiatives on reducing crime was high.
