she is glad she made it. a neighbor saved him. for no reason, they just coldcocked her in the face. this is insane. hassan: at this week's meeting, there was lots of concern about crime, especially involving young kids. >> duty to start telling people to stop having kids or have them if they are ready for them. hassan: ov in oakland, the open police department announced the arrest of a large number of young people involved in more than 100 robberies. some community youth theaters are pushing back over the narratives around the oakland zoo youth -- around oakland's youth. >> cases like this that are shocking and concerning to the public, and we create a false and incorrect narrative that there is some sort of unprecedented explosion in crimes among teens, but it is simply not true. hassan: nicole is the urban executive director of peace movement, building youth leadership and ending youth

incarceration. she cites a study by the youth in criminal justice that shows there has been a drop in juvenile crime. >> there was a 96% reduction in crime rates among teens in california. hassan: the report also points to huge drops in homicide in gun violence in california youth over the past few decades and in the number of arrests. she says the recent criminal activity by oakland youth should not be ignored, but she claims it is the exception, not the norm. the other concern is how perception can turn into reality. >> when people start to believe those false narratives, we are telling adults to look out into the community for young people of color who look like they do not belong and to be afraid of them. when we do that, it has deadly, sometimes deadly consequences. accurate data is crucial to better understanding the issues and to come up with more effective solutions.
