Re: Ideas to discourage gang activity?

I agree with alb on the high-quality mandatory boarding schools with extensive counseling. Kids would be forced to graduate with a good education and won't have the distractions and lure of inner city street life. They will be force fed exposure to other, more positive lifestyles. It would be very expensive though, however not as expensive as incarcerating someone at $40,000 a year. We either deal with these kids now or pay the price by possibly becoming their victim or paying for their incarceration. I don't think the parents are able to do much for whatever reason, even though a kid should be the responsibility of the parent. Single parents could be messed up but if the only parent is working, it could be mean a lot of unsupervised time for the kid. And sometimes kids just want more than what their parent can provide. Many kids are rebellious because they have a missing father. And some grow up in an environment that tells them their isn't much in store for you anyway, so do what you got to do to get yours now. Anything that would take kids out of the inner city until at least high school graduation would be great. And if they went away to college right after that, it would be evn better. One has a better chance of surviving in the inner city if they are already grounded and focused, past the very impressionable, highly flawed logic age. I've been told that this is a pipe dream though. Our system likes to do things that don't work, not things that actually have a chance of really making a difference.
