[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the unstated policy right now is that Bowser doesn’t want these kids f#cking up the public schools, so they are willing to turn a blind eye to truancy. Keep them out of the classroom so they don’t pull down others.

[b]I get it, but they need to go somewhere. T[/b]hese kids are looking for replacement families, so the state needs to create one for them. [/quote]

Juvie and then jail when the age out of juvie [/quote]

Research shows that incarcerating kids who are not a public safety risk is poor use of tax dollars. More effective approaches (from the perspective of both costs and outcomes) focus on providing kids and families with intensive wraparound services in their home communities.

[i]”Studies that control for young people’s backgrounds, offending histories and other relevant characteristics have found that confinement most often results in higher rates of rearrest and reincarceration compared with probation and other community alternatives to confinement. Data show that large declines in youth incarceration do not result in increases in youth crime.”[/i]

Make the sentences longer and institute 3 strikes and you only have to worry about rearrest twice [/quote]
Sounds like a brilliant plan. I assume you would also support the significant tax hikes necessary to support it?[/quote]
