1. Goal: to develop a comprehensive strategy and implementation plan to
prevent and combat youth violence in targeted areas of the County.
2. Scope: the youth violence reduction strategy may consist of two primary
coordinated strategies:
a. Targeted control of violent or potentially violent youth offenders in the form of
increased supervision and suppression by the probation department and
police; and
b. Provision of a wide range of human services and opportunities for targeted
youth to encourage their transition to legitimate behavior through education,
jobs, jobs training, family support, and counseling.
