Prevention and Intervention: A Public Health Approach to Violence

Prevention and Intervention: A Public Health Approach to Violence. Same details as in the body of the update.

I’ve invited the Reverend Judie Shepherd-Gore of Cure the Streets and Lauren Haggerty from the Office of the Attorney General to join me in a Ward 1 conversation about preventing violence, especially youth violence. Both are deeply involved in prevention and intervention efforts. Audience members will also have a chance to ask questions.

Monday, April 24, 6 to 7:30 pm, in the Cardozo High School lecture hall, 1200 Clifton St. NW. No registration is necessary.

Later that week I’ll be joining the 3rd District MPD Citizen Advisory Committee meeting, along with representatives from MPD, to hear from residents and speak about public safety issues, including new legislation I am introducing that week.

The 3D CAC meeting will take place Thursday, April 27, 7 to 8 pm at the 3rd District Station, 1620 V St. NW. The meeting is open to the public and no registration is necessary.

The facts don’t lie: curfews are not effective at addressing youth crime.
Council approved an amendment I introduced to sunset the law in two years. That means that the teen curfew law won’t continue past December 31, 2028. Not only does that limit the harm, it also forces District government to come up with real solutions sooner.
The teen curfew law up for a final vote in the D.C. Council on Tuesday would expire at the end of 2028, under a new amendment being proposed by Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau, D-Ward 1. A second amendment by Nadeau would prevent police from bringing teens detained solely for a curfew violation to a detention center.
