Senator deconcini. This hearing this morning is Sponsored by the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Juvenile Jus tice, and I am very pleased and thank you all for being here. I will go into an opening statement in just a moment, but I wanted to let the press ask some questions, if they want to, and if they do not, me.
The purpose of this hearing is to solicit not only what the prob lem is, which many of us know, but to also raise the awareness of the problem of gangs and violence and use of firearms by young people in our own communities, and also to listen to what works and perhaps what has not worked, and to attempt to see what can be done not only on the local level, but what could be translated into Washington, DC, as to assistance.
This is an epidemic, in my judgment. One out of five high school students now carries either a firearm, a club or a knife to school, and we have 3 million crimes of violence occurring in schools today, and that is one every 8 seconds, somebody has calculated. N 0 longer are our schools a safe haven; they are a dangerous place for our children to attend. The big question is, why has this moved to our schools and What can the communities do about them?
We have some excellent programs here which we are going to talk about today, and one of them is right here at Phoenix College, the Genesis, which I plan to visit this afternoon. I welcome the press, if they want to come to that, and I am sure they would set up interviews and tours any other time, if you cannot make it today.
