Policy makers can’t always agree on the best approach to reducing violent crime. But in Dallas, city leaders increasingly seem to understand that we do know what
doesn’t work: putting more people in jail. What’s needed instead is investment in what advocates call a community-based continuum of care. “This is a big pendulum shift. This is not how things have historically been done in Dallas,” says Gary Ivory, president of the national nonprofit Youth Advocate Programs. “We’re finally turning the tide on the mass incarceration that has happened in this country the last 50 to 60 years.”
In California, many congregations are now easing into what once were normal practices.
St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach began to meet in person in mid-March and the church is focused on “finding ways to safely allow people to come back to a space that has held a lot of meaning for them,” said Pastor Mark Davis.
The church will have a combination of virtual and in-person services. On Easter Sunday, there will be no choir, but singers behind plexiglass. Even as they are easing into normalcy, Davis said, he can see the deep meaning it has for congregants.
