Last year an estimated three million crimes were committed in the nation's schools and some 100,000 guns were carried to school every day. Yet even these numbers represent only a fraction of the crime and violence that confront america's young people. Directing youth away from crime and appropriately dealing with those who commit crimes is of increasing importance as demographic trends indicate that juvenile crime will continue to increase well into the next century.
Crime will increase along with the juvenile population:
There will be 1.8 million more males 14 to 24 years old, the most crime-prone group, in the year 2005 and 1.2 million more in 2010, according to the Census Bureau.
Juvenile arrests for violent crimes will more than double by the year 2010 if recent national trends continue,
The number of youths arrested for murder is expected to increase by 145 percent by the year 2010.
How should the federal government reduce juvenile crime in the United States?
