Also you keep refusing to acknowledge that the program is working and have not yet given one reason why you oppose a program that saves citizens from being victims of violent crimes.

Working is a bit subjective at this time.  21% have committed a gun crime and 16% have been shot.  That's the ones who were caught.  What percentage would have committed a gun crime or been shot  without the program?

And according to the article, you don't get paid if you get in trouble.

Quote:Under the bill, city officials would identify up to 200 people a year who are considered at risk of either committing or becoming victims of violent crime. Those people would be directed to participate in behavioral therapy and other programs. If they fulfill those obligations and stay out of trouble, they would be paid.
