Many communities, particularly African American communities, are plagued with crime all across the country today like never before. To reverse this trend, communities and community leaders must understand the crux of the problem. We must address the ideological and philosophical issues that go all the way back to Washington, D.C., and the soft-on-crime policies in our major urban cities.

Family structures must be strengthened, parenting skills must be developed, and racial strife and division must be conquered.
