The Problem
Baltimore continues to face high crime rates, with youth involvement in criminal activities being a significant concern. The Department of Juvenile Services (DJS), led by the Secretary, plays a critical role in rehabilitating young offenders, preventing recidivism, and providing support to at-risk youth. However, the tangible impact of this leadership position on crime rates remains unclear.
Key Questions:
How do the Secretary’s decisions align with Baltimore’s crime-reduction strategies?
Are the policies effective in reducing youth recidivism and intervention success rates?
What gaps exist between policy intent and on-the-ground outcomes?
