[quote=Anonymous]While this is likely the latest attempt to shift blame on others, I'm not mad about it because this city needs to tackle the crime problem from all angles. Many agencies play a role in reducing crime and DYRS is one of them. The kids in juvie have already gotten arrested (so MPD did its share) and they were either convicted/pled guilty or are being held pending trial (the prosecutors and courts did their job). But the system at the end of the line--DYRS--isn't doing its job which is to help rehabilitate these kids and reduce recidivism. In fact, they clearly aren't doing much of anything if the recidivism rate is 92%!!! This bill addresses just one part of the problem because MPD, the prosecutors, and the courts still need to do their part. Even if the legislation is opportunistic or attempting to cast blame, it appears to be necessary.[/quote]
