Rep. Nancy Farmer, D-64, is cosponsoring a bill to address the issue of increasing juvenile crime along with Rep. Pat Dougherty, also of St. Louis.
The proposed act would provide funding for employment, education, recreation, role model/ mentor, drug abuse prevention, and non-violent conflict resolution programs. “We can either pay now or pay a whole lot more later,” said Rep. Farmer. “The earlier we reach our children with programs that generate self-esteem, community pride, and personal responsibility, the better our chances of having them become productive members of society.” The act would also allow for locally operated correctional alternatives for juvenile offenders with regimented discipline, educational, and community service components.
For more information, contact Rep. Farmer at 721-3083 or 1-751-1400 in Jefferson City.
