[Baltimore Sun] Maryland needs a new strategy to fight juvenile crime | READER COMMENTARY
Read Time:43 Second
The Baltimore Sun does a respectable job of reporting on juvenile crime, but hasn’t offered any solutions (“Armed carjackings by juveniles up in Baltimore, new data shows,” Oct. 7).
Consider the case of carjackings. An offender who gets caught, with or without a weapon, should do six months in a “boot camp” no mater what the age. The camp can include classroom education, but also total discipline from sunrise to sunset.
I would wager that this will cause a reduction in this category of crime once this policy is implemented and young people realize this would be the consequences of being caught stealing cars. Baltimore has won tens of millions of dollars in recent lawsuits — use that money to fund this effort!
