There are several advantages to participating in TASC. Children and families have the opportunity to access services that are targeted to properly address the underlying causes of what research has shown to be the primary indicator of juvenile delinquency: TRUANCY. TASC acts as a referral network linking families to valuable resources within the community that address areas of risks within the family. Finally, TASC gives children and families the opportunity to informally and voluntarily resolve legal misconduct without formal Court involvement.
