N'DIGO STUDIO | Chicago Crime Solutions

Description

Join your host Hermene Hartman as we talk about crime in Chicago. There are too many random and pointless murders happening in Chicago today. Today we are joined by three guests who have direct experience & unique understanding of the crime taking place in our city. We are joined by La Shawn K. Ford State Rep, Sharon Grant who is the executive director at Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center Foundation, and Donovan Price, founder, pastor & victim’s advocate.

We kick off our discussion today by exploring how we might deal with crime both on the legislative level & on the community level. Everybody wants to be successful & independent when they grow up and a lot of that depends on our upbringing. Our guests outline the various influencing factors that determine whether young people will turn to crime including their parents, particularly the mothers of our children, black mentors and community groups.

We discuss the kinds of criminal behavior that kids have been involved with, including murder, & how these horrible incidents have ripple effects throughout the community. We talk about the rebuilding process & how we as a community need to work together to build each other up, to provide support & establish a sense of restorative justice within our communities. We also assess possible solutions to the gun problem. How youths acquire firearms on the blackmarket & possible solutions to prevent this from happening.

Join us for all this and more on this important episode of the N’DIGO Studio Podcast.
