WASHINGTON, DC - On Wednesday morning, December 3, 2008, Dr. Barry Krisberg, juvenile justice researcher and President of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD), will release a NCCD critique and comparative analysis of the legislative approaches in the 110th Congress to address gangs. The critique and analysis will compare S. 456, the "Gang Abatement and Prevention Act" and its House companion, H.R. 3547, with H.R. 3846, the “Youth PROMISE Act” sponsored by Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott. S.456 and H.R. 3547 both emphasize increased punishment and other suppression approaches; the Youth PROMISE Act emphasizes an alternative approach, using evidenced-based prevention and intervention strategies to prevent crime.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - I was pleased to learn this week that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that they will make available up to $20 million in response to the commercial Blue Crab fishery disaster in the Chesapeake Bay. This funding will help watermen deal with tough harvest restrictions and the current difficult economic situation. While this is great news, it is not the final step in the process for improving stocks of Blue Crab and helping the commercial crab industry make a successful return to their harvesting levels.
