Through extensive research, the Block Party for Peace team has come to understand the issues facing our communities today. Most crimes are committed with the intent of some form of economic gain, i.e. illegal drug sales, burglary, etc. With this in mind, we have decided to take an approach that cuts to the core of crime and violence in our city through job creation, workforce development, higher education and healthy living. In improving one's quality of life, we believe that we will decrease the desire for one to commit crime.
