The Richmond, CA model of policing (positive community policing)

Is this not the same city that pays at risk young males a monthly stipend?

yes, they take a multi-pronged approach to civic wellness/safety
they realize they need to make sure that people are fed, in school, limiting teen pregnancies, making sure they don't have to rob to afford pampers, etc

it's a very hopeful situation
