Young offenders who do not face consequences at an early age for minor crimes are often apprehended when it is too late to fully rehabilitate them. Young adults, ages 18 - 24, experience the highest homicide rate in America, according to the Department of Justice. One statistic indicated that about one third of all victims of violent crime were between the ages of 12 and 19. Simply put, getting guns, drugs and violent offenders off the streets makes everyone, including the offender, safer.

If you say "NO" to 574-LPMD, you are saying "YES" to violence in your community.
