On the recordMay 7, 1997
In summation, the Families First juvenile justice bill that we will be presenting tomorrow morning at approximately 10:30 as a substitute to the McCollum bill, really it indicates that we need a balanced approach to the problem of juvenile crime, an approach that would include enforcement, intervention, prevention, and, of course, detention for those violent individuals who have to be detained. It would be based upon smart, cost-effective, community-based initiatives, proven initiatives through research as we have seen in Boston, in Minnesota, and other places around this Nation when we have let local communities determine what is best for them in their communities to deal with their problem of juvenile crime.
