From WLLA News:
WASHINGTON (7News) — A new study on juvenile violent crime in D.C. points to coordinated investments in trauma-informed supports, opportunities and accountability as ways to reduce these crimes.
The 67-page report was commissioned by the D.C. Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) to help better understand these crimes in the District by centering the voices of those most affected: youth, families, community members, community-based organizations and agency representatives. CJCC is a council of District and federal executive, judicial and legislative branch leaders seeking to identify challenges and generate solutions to enhance public safety and justice system operations for D.C.
The study highlights the conditions that drive youth violence and the supports that deter it.
