Menino Announces Efforts to Reduce Youth Violence

(NECN: Boston, Mass.) - Boston Mayor Tom Menino was joined today by city, state and community partners to announce a coordinated effort to reduce youth violence.

The PACT (Partnership Advancing Communities Together) will focus its efforts on 200-300 individuals who have played a significant role in the ongoing violence by leveraging government resources at all levels and re-enforcing a community-based support system in known problematic geographic areas.

Partners in the PACT will collaborate on a comprehensive approach to more effectively suppress violence in the city's neighborhoods and support the families and residents in those communities.
