The San Antonio Coalition Against Youth Violence believes community issues deserve community solutions.
The chairman Lloyd Patterson said the UTSA violent crime reduction plan isn’t an effective method because hotspots do not always predict problem areas.
“That guy didn’t get killed on the east side. He was killed in a barbershop. He got killed in the area where it was highly unlikely that this type of violence would take place,” Patterson said. For example, Rise Recovery will listen to concerned parents or teenagers from the southside and take their concerns to other area resources and potentially the rest of the coalition.
