Our Inner-City Crisis
2022 has been like no other year thus far. There was a 30% increase in the number of murders from 2020 to 2021, and another increase of 20% so far this year, in 2022, according to a recent New York Times study and statistics provided by the Center for Disease Control. Car jackings and crime in general is rising substantially and being perpetrated by people as young as 10 years old. What is being done about this from a local or federal level? How are we to help these kids break from this cycle?
Causes of Crime by Juveniles
Today’s inner-city youth is dealing with many traumas, and each trauma can add up to life behind bars. Traumas include generational poverty, physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by a parent or loved one in the home, violence and crimes that they experience firsthand, abandonment or incarcerations by one or both parents, hunger, and, worst of all, they are being ignored. Inner city youth must be able to break free from these traumas, and this is extremely difficult to do when you have the resources, but without the resources, the outlook is bleak.
