the Morning Shift
on WBEZ Public Radio
We are spending billions of dollars on what doesn't work including:
- Increasing the number of police on the streets, with high-powered weapons and highly-militarized, crime-fighting equipment
- Bringing in the AFT, DEA, FBI, DHS, CIA, National Guard, U.S. Army, et cetera
- Arresting, incarcerating and criminalizing youth
- Focusing mostly on drug and gang activity
- Using university research to create strategies for the streets
- Intervening at the point of violence
- Having the wrong people at the discussion table who don't know what causes youth violence and that have few new ideas for solving the problem of youth violence
- Systematically reducing youth engagement activities and opportunities
- Providing sub-par educational facilities and opportunities for students
- Blaming heavily the availability of guns for the violence
- Planning to reduce violence a week before you expect the violence
- Funding violence prevention programs in a disjointed, haphazard manner
