The issue of gang and youth violence has been on the front page of many of newspapers across the nation. Congress is responding to the issue by allocating more resources and funds to enforcement. NCLR believes that suppression is only one part of the solution. The solution must be comprehensive and inclusive of prevention, intervention, and alternatives to incarceration. Furthermore, these strategies need to be simultaneously implemented and must be adopted by communities most affected by youth and gang crime.
