Town Hall Meeting on Juvenile Crime

The City of Bloomington has scheduled a Town Hall Meeting to address concerns about juvenile crime. The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 6:00 pm in the Bloomington City Hall Council Chambers (109 E. Olive Street).

The meeting, the third of a series, will be open to public questions.

The Town Hall Meeting will touch on the various roles of juvenile crime prevention and enforcement: starting with one’s self, the community, the victim, the police, prosecution, courts, detention, and state legislation. The major emphasis of this meeting will be on enforcement.

Representatives from several agencies will be present at the meeting to explain the process: McLean County States Attorney’s Office, McLean County Court Services, McLean County Juvenile Detention Center, Bloomington Police Department, and Bloomington public school districts. Local state legislators, who make the laws regarding juvenile justice, have also been invited.
