Crime is on our minds...In the fall issue of THE NEXT AMERICAN CITY MAGAZINE, we took a close look at crime and the perception of crime in cities. Now we want you to be a part of that discussion. Please join THE NEXT AMERICAN CITY as we host a two-hour symposium on crime that will bring together politicians, academics, police and community representatives to discuss how we can work together to address crime and its causes in Philadelphia and in cities across the country that are struggling with similar challenges.

Hi,
I attended this meeting. It is very obvious that some incredible thinkers were present. More needs to be done to address the public previous to meetings so that they are more widely attended. This sort of subject is simply too important to leave anyone out. I am hoping that the ideas presented are moved along so that they take precident over “conventional” policy. A comprehensive long-term plan looked like a very good start to fill the vaccuum which is currently present.
Thanks!
