To reduce crime, enhance public safety, and improve outcomes for people involved with the criminal justice system, we need to follow the evidence. Across the country, we have seen how proactive strategies like summer youth employment programs (SYEPs) have been proven to counter this seasonal crime spike, offer at-risk youth a more constructive path forward, and reduce violence. Moreover, these programs have a lasting effect, helping to bring down crime and violence throughout the year.
