Youth at Work battles crime
Street crime may be a temptation for youth in some New Haven neighborhoods, but a group of city aldermen is discussing ways to encourage teens to take a more positive path.
The Board of Aldermen’s Youth Committee met Wednesday to discuss two programs — a citywide database of youth services and a youth-employment initiative — that city officials hope will help stem youth violence. Aldermen received updates on the projects and debated how best to push them forward.
