How
many mayoral candidates have a plan to move money from the Chicago
Police Department to strategies that would prevent neighborhood crime?
Anyone who works or lives in a low income neighborhood knows how criminals are made. They are partially manufactured by their home, neighborhood, and school environments. Overwhelmed parents, and teachers need more support for their boys and teens that are on the road to becoming criminals.
Parents and teachers know what their child, and their students need to succeed in school. Academic tutoring, and life skills after school programs can help students who are struggling in school.
Moving millions of dollars from the $1.9 billion police budget and the $9.5 billion Chicago Public Schools budget to help thousands of at-risk students could dramatically reduce neighborhood crime in Chicago.
