Crminal Justice entities exist to serve individuals and families the same way the Department of Human Services does. One sizeable reason systems like these even exist is because crime happens. There are multiple reasons why crime happens and the focus of my efforts are centered on the link between broken families and deviant or even criminal nehavior. I believe there is a direct link between broken homes and crime committed by young people. The government focused in the past on factors like poverty and a person 's race but left their family life unexamined. Many children today are being raised in single parent homes which creates risk.

In total, to pay these officers it will cost around 1.9 million dollars in salary alone. This amount equates to roughly two percent of the department budget for a one year test phase. An additional $18,000 is needed to cover the costs of the required Intoduction to Human Services. Officers will pay the bill for this up front and then be reimbursed according to established department policy.
