Preveint Gang Violence in San Diego

Gang violence has been decreased in the San Diego County by the help of funding from the state and federal. They have made peacemaker programs and building that help with job opportunities, training and close monitoring for the people who have violent behavior so they could try and help them get out of the gang life. They also project safeway monitors so people wont commit violence and use Hire A Youth to give jobs so people would not have to use violence in order to get money. The San Diego are also part of the 13 Cities Gang Prevention Network that has been a good organization that has helped keep gang violence to a low. Also they have had parents volunteer in programs such as staying outside of a school to prevent gangs fighting with people after school.
