[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like 1% of criminals do 80% of crimes, and [b]mostly due to mental illness. [/b]

The kids doing the crimes in DC aren't mental ill, at least many of them are not.  The guy who stabbed the dog, yes.  The carjacking teens?  No, mostly not.  [/quote]

Studies have shown they are. [/quote]

If you truly believe this, they should be put in youth hospitals for the criminally insane with interventions until a panel of experts determines they are cured and socialized. [/quote]

I don't think the person you are responding to would disagree with you. I truly think they're mentally ill and think they should be in youth facilities with a metric ton of therapy, schooling, and probably job training until they are deemed fit for society. Almost nobody is willing to pay for this. [/quote]

I don't think it's about money, it's about civil liberties. We turned away from involuntary treatment which essentially means the only mental illness we can "treat" is what we criminalize. However, once the kids are in the system - yes we can pay for it. Allen has not spoken to what REFORM comes with his youth reform. We spend plenty on DC on supervision and services" for adjudicated youth. Id like transparency, accountability and if needed (after we audit it all),  more services like those you mention. I mean obviously we need it since NO ONE is coming out the revolving door reformed. This is Allen's Law and he needs to speak to "WHAT REFORM?".[/quote]
