New York City plans to roll out a program that would encourage at-risk youth to not break laws. This program offers incentives for getting a high school diploma, getting a driver license, not committing crimes, etc., instead of engaging in violent crimes.<\/p>\n

The article claims that this program has been successful where it was tried. However, this is based on early research. How much a qualified youth will be able to earn under this program is not known yet. In some locations, some were paid $1000 monthly for being in the program.<\/p>\n

From Newsmax:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Providing a financial incentive to not commit gun crime is most assuredly a fanciful, unscientific ‘solution’ to a very specific problem,” National Police Association spokeswoman Betsy Brantner Smith told the Times.<\/p>\n

“Instead of stigmatizing and punishing a bad behavior, this program rewards a neutral behavior, and will undoubtedly be rife with fraud.”<\/p>\n

While supporting the idea of youth mentoring programs, Smith said the New York City program “seems like a case of throwing good money after bad.”<\/p>\n

Precisely how much money an individual youth could earn in the program remains uncertain. An official in the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice told the Times that program organizers were “still in the process of rolling out the next steps.”<\/p>\n

New York City’s pilot program is modeled after Advance Peace, an anti-gun violence mentorship program founded in Richmond, California, in 2010.<\/p>\n

Though the program saw success early on, adoption elsewhere was discouraged after critics scoffed at the idea of giving money to people for complying with the law, The Trace reported.<\/p>\n

In the 11 years since Advance Peace was founded, just four additional cities — Stockton, Fresno, and Sacramento in California, and Forth Worth, Texas — have embraced the program, The Trace said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
