Today (December 3, 2008), the National Council on Crime and Delinquency released a special report examining how the 110th Congress proposed to address gangs. It compares two bills -- the Gang Abatement and Prevention Act (S. 456 and H.R. 3547) and the Youth PROMISE Act (H.R. 3846) and finds that the Youth PROMISE Act, with its evidenced-based prevention and interventions can do more to help youth "not only stay out of trouble but also have promising futures." The details are available online.
