    South Africa, the arts and youth in conflict with the law
    (Intellect, 2007) Sloth-Nielsen, Julia; Woodward, Sheila C.; Mathiti, Vuyisile
    This paper describes the DIME (Diversion into Music Education) youth intervention program that originated in South Africa in 2001. DIME offers instruction in African marimba and djembe bands to juvenile offenders. Conceived as a community collaboration among organizations in the cities of Cape Town, SA and Tampa, USA (including the University of the Western Cape and the University of South Florida), DIME offers a unique example of community music and multicultural music education.
