Description
The Youth Violence Summit included over 80 participants -- leaders in the fields of law enforcement, juvenile justice, criminal justice, community programs, health and social services, as well as students from area schools. Participants worked in small groups to examine youth violence from 6 perspectives: law enforcement; juvenile justice; community; family; school; and health. Each group identified or developed strategies believed or expected to reduce youth violence. Those strategy recommendations are presented in this report along with background information on youth violence in America, its trends and contributing factors. Charts and tables.
