Unless we reinvest in our youth population now while they are still young and impressionable, we will likely face a blood bath of teen killings by 2005. The future may make 1995 look like the good old days. We're talking with Dr. James Fox, an expert criminologist. The next question is more philosophical in nature. I see little value placed on a human life.
Killing comes easy.
This generation of youth is more willing to resort to violence over seemingly trivial issues, such as a leather jacket, a pair of sneakers or no reason at all. The questioner is quite right that there is less respect for the value of life. We're talking about the nation's crime policy with Dean James Fox. The next question is about the likely impact on our civil liberties. We've been seeing this already.
