[quote=Anonymous]I think what it says is if you want to stop the cycle of violence in DC, you have to work harder on kids. Those of us who work in schools know that you can see the writing on the wall in the early grades. Violence as a way of life gets passed down in families and in neighborhoods. People focus on the cost of interventions but a lifetime of trials and incarceration is the most expensive, to say nothing of victims. The only way to fix it is to work harder on intervening with kids. Once a kid is a teen who’s shot someone, I think it’s much harder. Families, or those in families who care, often try by relocating the kid out of state, which is semi-effective. But they often just come back. [/quote]
