Is violence the issue we are dealing with or is it a symptom of wider social problems. focussing on one fails to address the wider issues. Has the state got the funds to make social change or will we throw token amounts at small projects to make us feel better? #violenceindustry

More investment in schools in Michigan significantly reduced crime:

The safest communities are the ones with the most resources, not the most police. We can't police our way out of poverty, homelessness and food insecurity.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

This group of youth workers and advocates wanted to meet with John Tory to discuss gun violence. Instead they got me. Here's why they're giving up on government to help in the fight for their communities. Please listen to what they have to say: https://t.co/3Zi0M43DMe

[NivenR_SocialImpactScotland @niven_SIS]

Violence is driven by poverty as are many of our other social ailments - when things get worse don't blame those trying to cope with the outcomes of decisions made #springstatement

@husslington @HSRA_MN @DavidTCEllis1 @gjladson @DSmoke7 @tonyminnieapple @LASTNAMELIPSET Congrats on the new book!

TODAY, the Toronto police board is debating the force's 2022 budget request, asking for $1.1 billion — a $25 million increase from last year.

I looked at the 24 horse, $5.9 million mounted unit, a specialized unit some forces have disbanded to cut costs.

@AbeOudshoorn Great list Abe! Happy Birthday:) Yes it's ok to exercise without music but why would you?!?

[Secrets from a Prison Cell @cellsecrets]

If inmates had a penny for every meaningful rehabilitative program available to them, they still couldn't afford a free cup of coffee. If you have someone held captive for a decade, why not give him some skills to at least have a shot at reintegration back into the community?

@RealRhonelle You do not need to worry about imposter syndrome Rhonelle - you deserve to be there at least as much as everyone else!

@mandi_pn This is to show them how to do the interaction I'm guessing? Also drug dealing isn't synonymous with gangs. What is this supposed to be?! You're right I've seen millions spent on completely ineffective 'anti-gang' programming (never going to work if you call it that!)
