I have often wished that those released by the court system went to live in the same area as the judge who relased them rather than to be right back in the "hood" to prey on it's residents again. No wonder people are hesistant of standing up against these people. The police man can't be guarding your house and kids 24 - 7. No wonder the police get frustrated arresting the same people over and over again only to have them released.

Without first having that confidence and self-worth that comes from having basic and emotional needs met, I won't be surprised if gangs and violence continue to thrive. I understand that this is a complex situation and what I want is a tall order for any neighbourhood, not just ours.<br /><br />Thought you mind find some of these interesting:<br />https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/opinion/sunday/kristof-a-poverty-solution-that-starts-with-a-hug.html?_r=1&src=tp<br />http://ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=19&contentid=937<br /><br />All the best to you and yours in the New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222548002625629246.post-37685866775812832042012-01-05T16:54:22.047-06:002012-01-05T16:54:22.047-06:00That's a pretty tall order.
