.@DavidMuhammad warns against blaming kids for the recent rise in violence. We've been there before as a country during the "superpredator" era, and it was ugly, harmful, and racially divisive. @NICJR01 @CUJusticeLab thetrace.org/2022/06/juveni…

"It is more crucial than ever for Americans to understand that youth crime continues a remarkable and steady overall decline as the nation incarcerates fewer young people." Read @DavidMuhammad response to national increases in gun violence. thetrace.org/2022/06/juveni…

Youth are not the culprits - Americans should know that youth crime continues a remarkable and steady overall decline. wjla.com/news/local/vio…
