What do you think the city can do to curtail violence during the summer?

Get rid of the guns. Get kids into summer programs and jobs.

More programming for kids. The more activities they have, the more safety they’ll enjoy.

Give the young people plenty to do. Give them opportunities to go places, like summer camp.

Leonard Egerton

More patrols in the hot areas where there’s a lot of violence. I know the older gentleman who was shot last week. It’s sad when you can’t even sit outside.

Get the residents involved in an anticrime strategy. They know the origins of it. They know how to solve it.

More jobs for the youth. Parents have to make more time for their families, too.
