protection, they want to be accepted, respected or all of the above.
Through various youth development initiatives and programs, the legisla-
ture can create an environment that will meet these needs for young
people in urban communities and thus reduce gang and gun violence.
Beacons offer New York City youth with a place to grow through challeng-
ing activities, caring, relationships, and opportunities. The youth-de-
velopment quality of the Beacon environment results in higher self-es-
teem among youth, increased leadership skills, and higher expectations
by staff and youth for behavior and performance. Beacons reduce the
likelihood of cut classes, bullying, and other crimes against persons or
property. Beacons also provide important services and activities for
neighborhood adults including sports, physical fitness, basic education,
English-language instruction, GED preparation and computer instruction.
Beacons create the cohesiveness between youth, parents, community organ-
izations and businesses necessary to engage the community which can
reduce gang and gun violence.
