Vagim on gang prevention
question:
Do you support the city's current approach to quash gangs? Do you favor changes to the city's current approach? What should be done, or done differently?answer:
No one should support allowing gangs to thrive and run free. Putting a lid on gang activities is a proper approach. But that isn’t enough. Prevention must be the foundation of reducing crime. Early in my first term as a County Supervisor I called attention to the pending problem of gangs. At that time the police chief said there wasn’t a gang problem in Fresno. Now we know what happens when the problem is ignored. Enforcement is important but it is only half the solution.
