Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao said that following the arrest of nine juveniles for nearly three dozen robberies, the city will provide resources and deliver consequences to youth committing crimes.
Fifty robberies occurred in a recent 72-hour period, Allison said.
The Oakland Department of Violence Prevention, which aims to prevent violence among youth and others, could get $9 million next year and $10 million the following year if the Oakland City Council approves the mayor's budget proposal. Thao said in her mind, no one would choose a life of crime, so getting to the root causes is important.
Fife said it's important to look at why youth are committing these crimes. She thinks the crimes are probably connected to adults.
