5) Statewide Dialogue on API Youth Violence
---------------------------------------------------------
Throughout California, Asian and Pacific Islander (API) youth are both the victims and the perpetrators of violence representing conflict within the group and attacks from the outside. What is clear about the incidents is that although occurring throughout the state, they could be happening in our own neighborhoods.
The goals of the Statewide Dialogue on API Youth Violence are to identify the needs of youth and their families, understand law enforcement responses, voice the concerns of community members, and begin examining approaches that can stop the violence.
