There are two things the Federal Government can do to alleviate some of this.

1. Homeless or Troubled kids (aged 16-25) who pass a psychological test should be given the opportunity to join a special branch the Armed Forces and let the military retrain back into society them by providing them with job & societal skills and a salary. Give them hope instead of throwing them in the gutter where they become lost souls. Its cheaper and more productive long term to implement this.

2. If the Homeless or Troubled kids don't pass the psychological tests then they are sent to a medical & behavioral health facility to help them cope with their mental challenges. By allowing psychologically impaired people onto the streets without medication or support is an important cog in allowing society to breakdown.

3. Children (8-15) who have been arrested more than one time should be enrolled into a military style ROTC program to prepare them for entry into the US Military.

Those are the only steps I honestly see to fixing the problem within the next five years.

This would be a worthwile exercise. Don't we already have a diversion program for youth offenders that uses some sort of quasi military school/training?

Yes we do and these are State programs that are completely separate from the US military. I think they might use some State National Guard assets and personnel.

The US military's job is not to provide rehabilitation for juvenile delinquents. Maybe that was the case 100 years ago but it is a bad idea today.
