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?

frick no. We want only the BEST people in our military, not some criminal rejects. If you put criminals in the military, they will do what criminals do -- commit crimes: rape, war atrocities, molesting children, stealing from their fellow Soldiers, raping the deployed Soldiers' wives. No way.

Incarcerate the little bastards -- I don't care what society does with them, but don't frick up my unit cohesion with that shite and don't put them on my military installations.
