We are all participants in car culture. Everyone expects to drive. Everyone anticipates driving. Everyone who has a car values it. But, not everyone has the ways or means to legitimately reach that goal; community youth workers say that those who don’t will create a way.

They say disadvantaged or troubled kids are like all kids; they desperately want to fit into car culture. But, kids on the fringe have no way to participate in it without supports. If they don’t have transportation at home or money for bus tickets, if they have addiction issues or are negatively influenced by older people, car theft can surface as an alternative that can affect everyone. We’ve seen it happen.
There was a virus of car thefts several years ago in Vancouver. It involved and was spread by boys, some of whom were as young as 10 or 12.

One theft attracted another and then another until small ad hoc gangs of kids were sharing information about how it was done.
Alex Vasiljević, a Senior Community Worker at Ray-Cam Community Centre, says there had been other car theft epidemics: “They ended with crashes where a kid or kids, or others not in their cars were killed or maimed.”

Gaps in services leave youth out

Previous attempts to address the issue of car thefts were stymied by a gap in services; the provincial government’s social services ministry would not get involved because the kids were in the justice system as a result of being caught for stealing the cars. So, after being frustrated by the system and acting as a prosecution witness of a particular theft, Vasiljević crafted NasKarz, a community program in response.

“The idea of NasKarz,” Vasiljević says, “is to harness the resourcefulness, ingenuity, and courage of these kids into a positive plan that would involve cars and mechanics and introduce them into a new social network.”
“The NasKarz network would help these kids improve their lives through experiencing new opportunities within a healthy environment.”

It is thought that two types of kids steal cars. There are those who are drug addicted, stealing to support the addiction and whom we hear about regularly. Then there are the hidden ones, those who steal out of a need for transportation, to escape from bad situations, to exert some kind of control, or to break up mundane, impoverished existences. Their primary struggle is survival.

Many of the kids have been or are in foster care, some are from single-parent households, others have two parents working but the household is at or below the poverty line. Others live on the street, and some have parents who are struggling with personal issues. These kids are served despair with their cereal each morning, if they even have breakfast at all. The problem is especially difficult when kids reach the age of majority and the social service system drops them into an adulthood they are not prepared for.

Prevention and intervention

That’s why Vasiljević knew that any program would have to have both prevention and intervention components.

The NasKarz program would have to involve wrap-around services, and kids would have to voluntarily buy into it
Wrap-around servicing means that kids and their families prioritize both the kid’s needs and healthy options; that they choose their community workers as well as natural supports, such as friends and extended family, to function as their support team. The whole team shares responsibility for developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating the plan, which is always designed to connect the kids and their families to the community and the supports it can provide. The plan is both culturally sensitive and individualized, based upon the kid’s strengths, and it is outcome based, measuring progress through specific and concrete targets and indicators.

Those needs and goals can initially be surprisingly basic, including housing and food, or wanting to learn how to read or spell. Once the kids determine their needs, youth workers find and coordinate community services and provide follow-up supports.
Kids’ aptitudes and their existing skills are identified and focused into skills-set training, so that their attributes can now work for rather than against them. In this process they can normalize.

An interest based approach is critical

“Go-carting and mechanics are obvious draws for this group of kids,” Vasiljević says. “An interest-based approach is both critical and central because these kids from both the peer and targeted groups, both pre-adult and young-adult ages, have particular obstacles to overcome.”

The underlying theme is to build trusting relationships with these kids so that they are open to learning skills, and setting and reaching goals that will help them mainstream into productive and healthy lives.”

To do that the program uses healthy, well-functioning kids as peers, as models and friends for kids who are struggling.

The peers are from within the community centre. Others who were involved in theft were targeted through outreach, but now the street telegraph is drawing those kids in and new connections to a healthy, alternative support system keep them there.

The NasKarz program is also supported by regular community centre programs that keep kids connected to healthy support groups through sports, enrichment, music, computer and other activities.

When it comes to the young adults, community youth workers try to help them into healthy, independent living situations so that they have a fixed address. This allows them to use the mechanical aptitude, abilities and skills they have or acquire within the car program to apply for and find employment.

An opportunity to do better

“There is inherent good in these kids. Where there is a program in place, they will take the opportunity to do better.”

Cars are the just hook into the program. Involvement with cars helps these kids save face on a rough street.
The NasKarz program is important for its participants’ futures because these kids are not hungry for crime; they’re starved for opportunity.

“There is nothing simple about organizing NasKarz logistically,” Alex Vasiljević says. “You can’t take anything for granted. The only simple thing you know is that the kids need what we all need: attention, love, support, and a car.”

“NasKarz works to build a Circle of Courage with each one of these kids, and to inspire a sense of belonging, mastery, generosity, and independence. It isn’t possible to do any of that without help and support from funders, other agencies, businesses, and people. You’d think that taking kids go-carting would be simple but it isn’t. James was the first local person to step up, and he went out of his way to get things rolling.”
Because Ray-Cam falls under the City of Vancouver’s auspices, the NasKarz program must follow standard risk-management regulations. It needs to obtain the same approvals as do kayaking and indoor rock-climbing school field trips, for example. Companies that offer activities services to the City must provide at least $2 million in insurance coverage per outing.

“When NasKarz began there were only a couple of places you could go-cart, and neither had adequate insurance to meet the City’s regulations,” Vasiljević says. “James came forward and bumped his insurance up to enable us to do it, and he also gave us a non-profit rate for the go-carting itself.”

“We began with weekly outings and about eight to 14 kids,” Vasiljević says. “We made it a race circuit, and gave points for showing up and best personal time. We were creating a new template so that it’s meaningful. Kids work toward something in every component of the program.”
John Norton, an adult addictions worker for Watari Research Association, also plays an instrumental role in the program. He did one-to-one counseling with some of the kids.

“He loves these kids to death, and when we started talking about the idea of doing something for them he jumped right on board,” Vasiljević says. “He interviewed people for staff positions, provided moral support, and helped develop programming ideas. Watari is also providing some funds, and it was one of our earliest partners because of John, and he’s been doing this on his off time as well as during his work day.”

With go-carting underway Ray-Cam struggled to get a mechanics component going. That’s when they found Pedal Power, a Vancouver bike shop, to help them provide a Build A Bike program. It worked well because it was short term. Kids were able to keep the bike and would receive a helmet and safety instructions. The program paid for second hand bikes. The kids would strip them down, build them back up from scratch, and could customize it for tricks. The kids owned the whole process with the help of staff from Build A Bike, and about eight kids went home with a bike of their own. “The Build A Bike program proved to us that the kids had an interest in mechanics and could follow it through.” NasKarz used Build A Bike as a pilot for moving into car mechanics. The car community in the Lower Mainland has bought in and put its money where the rubber meets the road.

“The automotive and cooperate community has been great,” says Vancouver Police Department Detective Constable Tim Houchen. “They’ve done everything from private donations and sponsorship to cooperating with equipment.”
“These companies have provided support, parts and products to move the NasKarz project far beyond my expectations,” Houchen continues. “Once people understand what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, they’re eager to get involved.”
NasKarz gets the majority of its funding from the National Crime Prevention Centre, through its community mobilization funds. It initially provided $50 thousand for one staff position. Today, through its crime action prevention fund, it provides $100 thousand for staffing, operations, program expenses, and snacks.

“A lot of it is parenting,” Vasiljević says. “It involves a ride to the program and some food to tide them through the day. Food is a main thing. There will always be food. Sometimes they just come for that because they’re not eating at home. We see it as a snack, and they see it as their significant meal of the day.”

“The Board gets that,” Vasiljević continues. “I even heard from one of the members that he thought the old Board wouldn’t have funded us, but this Board has made the shift into the type of thinking that will actually address this problem.”
In November of last year, the NCPC Board funded only two programs in BC and NasKarz was one of them because they felt it just made sense.
“The Board is allowing us to test the ground and proceed because it’s working,” Houchen says. “And, ICBC is also making the shift to understand that there is something they can do that will actually decrease rather than increase their risk of theft from the Downtown East side population.”
“Each person that has helped NasKarz out has a similar story or reasons that make it personal and touching for them,” Houchen adds. “This project brings those stories and reasons to the surface. It’s so powerful.”

“The NasKarz program steps up and competes for these kids and the quality and future of their lives”

We don’t know the accumulated costs when a kid steals a car. We also don’t know what the combined costs of the justice system, the judge, bailiff, court clerks, and lawyers are when a kid is caught, arrested and charged.

What we do know from ICBC is that one stolen car costs the corporation an average of $4000 and that owners of a stolen car have to pay a $300 deductible. We also know that costs quickly add up if a kid is stealing three or four vehicles a night.

In terms of human cost, there were several youth who died while joyriding on a reserve in the Chilliwack area. 15-year-old Kyle Tait, who was a passenger in a stolen SUV, was killed by a police officer in New Westminster who shot at the car, saying the kids were using the car as a weapon. How many other lives are lost or damaged because of car theft?

We suspect that risky car behaviors escalate among the at-risk youth.
“We went from zero to eight kids in the community that were stealing cars”
“Then we went from eight to 16 in no time.”

The late John Turvey, the iconic youth worker who founded the Downtown East side Youth Activities Society, used to say: “Who is out there competing for at-risk kids’ attention? If it’s not trustworthy adults in the community, it’s pimps, predators, gang members, drug dealers, hardened criminals and car thieves.”

Competing for kids atention

The NasKarz Program steps up and competes for these kids and the quality and future of their lives.

“Many of kids will originally say ‘no’ to pimps and drug dealers, but it is a lot harder to say ‘no’ to a friend who says, ‘get into the car’ because they often don’t see themselves as the one who is actually stealing it,” Vasiljević explains.

“In our experience car theft is spontaneous, opportunistic, and social. Once they are infected with the virus, they realize that rush, they experience freedom and their needs being met, and then they are dedicated to it. It’s a delayed decision based on the benefits they perceive from the car theft, joy riding experience. And, there is not a whole lot of research done on this.”

Dennis St. Aubin is ICBC’s Manager for Auto Crime Strategies. Part of his job is to keep abreast of what’s new in worldwide academic journals and the field. He was asked by ICBC’s president to review a letter that Alex Vasiljević had written to the corporation. St. Aubin already knew about Australia’s Project U -Turn, a program there that uses go-carting to divert teenagers away from car theft.

“Of the kids who were known car thieves, a high percentage of them stopped stealing through the U -Turn Program. Of those who were at risk to be passengers in stolen cars the vast majority did not become involved during or after the Project U -Turn program,” St. Aubin says.
“Vasiljević was proposing what was going in Australia,” St. Aubin says. “I know from experience that research about successful programs carries a ton of weight. I saw that we could prevent a long string of activities that were expensive to the system, and that started our collaboration.”

Christopher Drozda, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, is the rare exception here who has taken on such examination. Because Drozda had done a study of six kids in Winnipeg who were known car thieves he approached ICBC, saying there was a need for a program to deal with similar youth here.

St. Aubin suggested he talk to Ray-Cam.

Why kids steal cars

Chris was blown away that there was something in place for these kids,” Vasiljević says. “And we were thrilled to hear about his research.”
Drozda’s study called “Juveniles Performing Auto Theft: An Exploratory Study into a Deviant Leisure Lifestyle” found that “kids steal cars based upon two situations: for love of the drive and for sneaky thrills.”

“Love of the drive kids are the kind of kids that steal to be able to drive a car. Car culture: it’s very important and masculinity plays a role,” Drozda says. “The second category is the sneaky thrills type; they were stealing because they got a thrill out of the criminal aspect.

“The groups are slightly different,” Drozda says. “The ones who do the love of the drive are not going to hit a long stretch of recidivism unless they get stuck in the lifestyle, but there’s not that criminal intent. The other kids are trying to one up each other. And, both groups have an aspect of utility to the behavior; it’s a way to get to parties or to have a car for other criminal activities, such as shop lifting.”
His next finding reminds us that these car thieves really are still kids:

“There is a perception that they are able to control the risk factors when they steal these cars. They can steal one in 15 seconds, and they get a sense of accomplishment. They’re proud when they tell you about this technique they used, and that different cars require different techniques or tools to steal them and they know them all. There’s this belief that if they know the rules of taking a car they could control the risk.”
“One kid told me that you only keep a stolen car for 45 minutes because after that it gets into the police process and you can get caught,” Drozda says. “There is a hedonistic rush and a connection to what they are going through in the context of their lives. This is something they can accomplish and it counters the times they’ve been told they aren’t good at anything. With car theft, there is immediate gratification and motivation that you get something back from it.”

“Strangely enough I was thinking, wouldn’t it be great if there was a program or workshop where these kids who really do have a love for cars, and are good with their hands, that could be leisure type programs to learn to be a mechanic so they could experience accomplishments in a different, more healthy way?” Drozda says.

“And what’s so fascinating about Ray-Cam is that youth workers there strive to make an effort to include kids that have been disenfranchised from other centres. It’s a more inclusive culture of the area and of Ray-Cam itself.”

Drozda says that more conventional community centres in North America operate on a “drop in model” where kids connect to community for a couple of hours to play basketball or soccer, but those programs don’t necessarily include skill development.

A natural starting point

With NasKarz we’re starting to understand that a sense of inclusion is what is missing,” Vasiljević says. “Go-carting was a natural starting point because it is a legal way to learn driving skills and to have the opportunity to drive.”

“By getting kids involved in go-carting and keeping them in the program, we create an opportunity to bridge them into other positive achievements. For example, we have a number of kids, about 12 of them, that went from having no ID at all to having learners’ licenses, Social Insurance Numbers, and B.C. Identification.”

Vasiljević says that identification is the beginning of mainstreaming these kids. Few of their parents have identification because there is no car or car culture in their families.

And there is another aspect in which culture plays a big role.

There are two very vulnerable groups in the Downtown East side: immigrants and First Nations children. Immigrants are seen getting into cars much faster; they seem more driven to drive on their own. First Nations generally seem less motivated, and it takes a lot of money to own a car, so it’s what you prioritize.

According to Vasiljević, the situation on Native reserves is different because some kids believe that you don’t need a license to drive if the car belongs to someone in their family of origin or extended family.

Getting a driver’s license is a first step for at-risk kids. The second is to become employed.

“A Class Five driver’s license is a must in society today,” Vasiljević says, “and a Class Four is better.”

“Our goal is not just to get the kids a ‘new driver sticker,’ but to help them get to a full license as an employment skill. Many have a goal of being a delivery person, but when you are poor and have no license that goal seems impossible. We’re saying you can reach that goal and do it responsibly.”

More than prevention

The potential for the NasKarz program to provide community benefits goes well beyond prevention or rehabilitation.

“One of the things we’re hoping might be a long term benefit of this program is to develop a Community Car Coop,” Vasiljević says. “The idea is to use the cars that the kids rebuild to share among community members.”

He says a Community Car Coop would allow people to do things they can’t do on bus or afford to do in a taxi. Things such as take the family on a vacation, or carry larger grocery items since there are no large grocery stores in the area.

Beyond that, the cars that are fixed could be sold to create a social enterprise where the profits from the sales would be used to go back into the program, and to continue helping more kids.

For that to occur, provincial social services must do more for these kids, because community groups and residents are frustrated by the lack of response from the system.

The majority of these children have open case files with the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Once they begin to engage in high risk car behavior, they’re perceived as a risk to their peers in the community. Their ability to negatively influence and draw other kids into similar activities or even injure others often means they’re excluded or denied access to community programs or facilities.

Bringing such concerns to the MCFD has had limited success because it sees the issue as the justice system’s responsibility. But it is known that traditional police and justice system responses have had little success in curtailing or reducing car theft and joy-riding activities. This is because the same children and youth become repeat offenders who steal multiple vehicles. Ray-Cam doesn’t want them to get stuck in that lifestyle.
Vasiljević says “exclusion from the community programs escalates as youth become more involved in car theft. Exclusion alienates these youth, preventing them from participating and integrating fully in community activities.”

Breaking down barriers

Family dynamics, financial barriers, culture, and language can all impact children in ways where the he or she becomes socially isolated at school and excluded from extracurricular activities such as clubs or sports teams. Most of these kids are from lower income families that can’t afford or achieve the same access to opportunities, resources, purchasing power, or consumption standards, like the rest of us can. For example, not having the ability to pay for and join a sports program or swimming class, or not having a parent with the skills to help the child engage in those programs, are barriers that can keep kids from the mainstream.

Exclusion is what happens to these children. It’s not something they’ve chosen for themselves. Doing more for these kids appears to be defined by some in the MCFD as ‘wait long enough and there will be some other system that will take responsibility.

“Whatever social services’ job is, they need to be doing it,” Vasiljević says. “Whether it’s providing better supports for parents of these kids, providing parenting classes and life skills training, or taking charge of these high profile kids who are high-risk. They need to do more because these young, multiple offenders will not be helped by the justice system. Everybody is pointing their finger back at each other.”

“Ministry restrictions, limited resources, and often inadequate delivery systems mean community groups do not have the help that is needed to support the programs. There is a lack of capacity to safely include or help these children participate fully in community opportunities.
“More access to positive peers and role models increases the youths’ ability to access community, social, and economic benefits. That’s important because these kids don’t have regular starts in life or regular circumstances in which to grow up.”

“We’ll see different outcomes and we’ll see these kids being successfully extracted from street activity when we focus on inclusion, as well as developing and supporting more strategies such as NasKarz, and enhance resource capacity within, between, and outside of the traditional systems. We need to link these kids to community and community agencies, and our formal systems need to help us do that.”
Vancouver Police Detective Constable Tim Houchen says problems between the social services and justice systems “disenfranchise or prevent these kids’ re-connection to the main stream.”

“Building and bettering relationships between the two systems and taking ownership on both sides can cause positive change,” Houchen says.
“Before going into this whole program I realized that in one instance there were eight units of police boxing in kids from the original virus, which is much safer than high speed chases,” Vasiljević says. “Gratefully, Vancouver police are city and density conscious. They avoid the chase because they know there is a heightened risk of injuring or killing people when they are concentrated in a small area on the road and sidewalks.”
“Then in another incident there was a write up in the newspaper. The person the RCMP shot was ‘known to them’ and 15-year-old Kyle Tait died,” Vasiljević says. “Instead of saying this was a death that could and should have been prevented he was labeled as someone known to police.”

This upset Vasiljević as he was trying to get this project going. It reverberated throughout the neighbourhood. People knew the Kyle’s family. He become known in the community for a person he was not for the way he died, and kids in Downtown East side put up graffiti saying ‘Kyle Tait rest in peace.’

“I sent a letter to the New West Mayor and police saying this tragedy should not have happened. The kids and police connecting like that is the final stage of a tragedy that has been going on for years. We shouldn’t be at that point because many of these kids’ involvement in car theft can be prevented. We can tap into those kids with NasKarz because it’s a social opportunity for them. I never heard back.”

A reputation for innovation

“NasKarz has its advocates and heroes from the front lines: Det. Cst. Houchen from the VPD, St. Aubin from ICBC, and the professors at Vancouver Community College. What’s missing is a hero from the social services system, that singular person who will step up and sign on, and advocate for NasKarz within the Ministry of Children and Families. We know he or she is out there and this is our invitation for them to join us and help us prevent the preventable and save the savable.”

St. Aubin says: “Ray-Cam has a reputation for innovation. This will likely, in time, be one of those projects that they’ve brought in that will show great promise and be adopted elsewhere. And, the success of a project like this has huge potential for communities in BC that have this problem. If it works for Ray-Cam and kids in that community, it can work in other communities.”

St. Aubin says that Project U-Turn did expand and became a broader based program. Accordingly, Tasmania province in Australia has experienced a huge drop in auto theft. The same could happen with NasKarz; it could be duplicated and could have a strong, positive impact in our communities.
