Teens present solutions to end youth violence

According to the CDC, homicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24.  In Long Beach, the majority are gang-related.  From education to community mentorship, youth have a range of opinions on what can decrease youth-driven violence.  "[W]hen a certain youth is associated with an organization or club that aims to make the community a safe environment, it will give them a broad understanding of how violence is not the answer to everything."  New teen reporters share what they think would decrease, on Voicewaves.
