Watson, Diane | February 6, 2006 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reports the author's views on reducing youth and gang violence in the United States and making California safer. The argument is given for funding partnerships with Byrne grants and Community Oriented Policing programs, rather than relying on punitive measures and underfunded juvenile justice programs. This can be done with collaborations among law enforcement agencies, social services agencies, parents and schools. The author plans to introduce legislation that will give tax credits to organizations participating in a program for alternative school students.
