The 149th running of the Preakness Stakes is tomorrow at Pimlico Race Course, the historic, but dilapidated, track that is now owned by the state of Maryland. Del.

Ten years ago, six acres of abandoned lots in the Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore were transformed into an urban farm, and today the American Farmers Bureau Federation has rated it as one of the top 10 innovative farms in the country. But there's more than food being grown in Park Heights; they're growing community and investing in the future. Join host J.R. Jamison as he shares stories from the Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm, and sits down with four of the faces who keep the farm and its neighborhood thriving each and every day.

People come to Baltimore and fall in love with it and dedicate their lives to making it better, Rev. Al and I couldn't be more excited to welcome Farmer Chippy a man who John Brothers couldn't stop talking about, so we had to bring him on and we quickly came to the conclusion he's a bigtime diamond in the rough. Farmer Chippy, he's a farmer, he's community organizer, the father of two children and a difference maker in a Community that has been challenged for a too long. He started coming to Baltimore as a child to visit his grandfather from his home in Trinidad Tabago, he fell in love with the place and laid down his roots coinciding the birth of his first son... If he's not working with kids that don't trust many other than him, he is buildng a reputation as someone that gets things done. The largest Urban Farm in one of the state's most challenged neighborhood. Bringing trust, growing a little food and providing "food for the mind" he's created a large following and he's leading his fellow citizens to the light. Community organizing is his strength and he recently pulled together the Carribean Community, which is prevelant and proud in Park Heights for a celebration of "Carnival" in Druid Hill Park, one of our favorite places. We got an hour with him, it's a great talk and we quickly realized that this guy is Holy, his work is Holy, and we are lucky to have him as a full fledged advocate for our City...This is what Baltimore does to people...Rev and I feel the same way as you do Farmer Chippy, Baltimore, "The Greatest City in America" Thanks for joining us and all you are doing for Baltimore. Up Up and away we go...

A brazen afternoon shooting at a Baltimore intersection ends in one fatality and several injuries. Local city, state and federal officials gathered in Maryland today to promote new efforts to tackle violent crime. The city council has approved spending one-million dollars on new cell phone tracking technology. Time is running out for Marylanders to take advantage of the Student Loan Debt Relief Tax Credit Program. I'll have those stories in headlines, plus Baltimore County is scrambling to fill teacher vacancies before school starts next week and a giant indoor salmon farm on the Eastern Shore is raising the eyebrows of some environmentalists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join C4 and Bryan as they discuss the failures of the CDC with Dr. Margery Smelkinson. Along with the murder of a 61-year-old woman in Park Heights yesterday, Baltimore City is up to 102 murders. At this same point last year we were only at 93. Also, the CDC and the Justice Department may appeal the lift of the airline mask mandate. Should they do this? C4 and Bryan Nehman are live weekdays from 5:30-10:00am ET on WBAL Newsradio 1090, FM101.5, and the WBAL Radio App.
Brief summary of episode:Tiffany Holmes serves as the chief academic officer, responsible for all aspects of the development and delivery of educational programs, including curricula, faculty, facilities and budget, and ensuring and supporting the achievement and fulfillment of academic excellence across all disciplines of the College. Tiffany is on The Truth In This Art to tell us about The Art Of Racing.About the Art of RacingThe Art of Racing is part of the ongoing partnership between 1/ST and the Park Heights Renaissance that included honoring the late community advocate George E. Mitchell through the George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and the George E. Mitchell Park Heights Community Fellowship Grant. The Art of Racing builds upon the legacy of these initiatives by recognizing and honoring individuals who, much like Mitchell himself, demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to the Park Heights community.“The visual elements behind the Preakness Stakes captivate the imagination both on race day and year-round,” said David Wilson, Chief Marketing Officer, 1/ST. “The Art of Racing commemorates and celebrates one of the most iconic sporting events in Maryland, and nationwide. It also represents the opportunity for a modern visual interpretation of the Preakness Stakes as we redefine the sport to connect with a new generation of fans.”“The Preakness is one of the most esteemed public events for Maryland and this inaugural competition celebrates its importance in a unique way,” said Dr. Leslie King-Hammond, the founding director of the Center for Race and Culture at MICA and a member of the judging panel for The Art of Racing. There is an illustrious history between MICA and the Preakness Stakes that began in the 1970s when then-MICA professor Raoul Middleman led his classes in painting murals of Pimlico Race Course. The seven murals Middleman created with his students, which live in perpetuity behind the course's grandstand, provide an intimate look at a tradition defined by history and character.“Raoul Middleman enriched the lives of his students by giving them the hands-on opportunity to experience commercial artmaking,” said Dr. Tiffany Holmes, MICA's Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. “The Art of Racing builds upon Professor Middleman's legacy by commissioning artists from MICA and across Maryland to provide their interpretations of Maryland's time-honored tradition of Thoroughbred racing.”The Truth In This ArtThe Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting vibrancy and development of Baltimore & beyond's arts and culture.Mentioned in this episode:MICAArt of RacingTo find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory.Stay in TouchNewsletter sign-upSupport my podcastShareable link to episode★ Support this podcast ★
BWATB Nation, Today's guest is a good friend from my childhood Lamont Sutton. Lamont currently runs KWU Sports camp based in Baltimore city. K. W. U. stands for Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding. Lamont has taken on a roll in a lot of young kids lives as a mentor and father figure across multiple schools in Baltimore. Lamont's camp is a for profit business. He has never relied on city funding to assist him in his business ventures. We go way back to our childhood in this interview. We met at the P.A.L. Center in Medfield back in the late 90s early 2000s. He split his time between here and Park Heights. Growing up in both areas gave him the multitude of life skills to adjust in the fly as a camp coordinator. Tune in to hear his story first hand.
For this episode of Pull Up A Chair, we meet Paul Lurie, chief operating officer for the Jewish Community Centers in Park Heights and Owings Mills. Paul rose to that position by way of his work in the JCC Maccabi games. This five day Olympic style sporting event held each summer in several north American cities promotes community involvement, teamwork and cultivates a deep connection with Jewish pride. Paul started out with Maccabi coaching, baseball and inline hockey. Then he oversaw the Maccabi program at the JCC for more than a decade, which included being at the helm when Baltimore hosted the games in 2007. But Paul was just a teenager when his trajectory into the world of Maccabi sports launched like a story that only Hollywood dreams are made of.

Eve Rosen's The Voucher Promise: 'Section 8' and the Fate of an American Neighborhood (Princeton UP, 2020) examines the Housing Voucher Choice Program, colloquially known as "Section 8," and the effect of the program on low-income families living in Park Heights in Baltimore. In a new era of housing policy that hopes to solve poverty with opportunity in the form of jobs, social networks, education, and safety, the program offers the poor access to a new world: safe streets, good schools, and well-paying jobs through housing vouchers. The system should, in theory, give recipients access to housing in a wide range of neighborhoods, but in The Voucher Promise, Rosen examines how the housing policy, while showing great promise, faces critical limitations. Rosen spent over a year living in a Park Heights neighborhood, getting to know families, accompanying them on housing searches, spending time on front stoops, and learning about the history of the neighborhood and the homeowners who had settled there decades ago. She examines why, when low-income renters are given the opportunity to afford a home in a more resource-rich neighborhood, they do not relocate to one, observing where they instead end up and other opportunities housing vouchers may offer them. Richard E. Ocejo is associate professor of sociology at John Jay College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY). He is the author of Masters of Craft: Old Jobs in the New Urban Economy (Princeton University Press, 2017), about the transformation of low-status occupations into cool, cultural taste-making jobs (cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men’s barbers, and whole animal butchers), and of Upscaling Downtown: From Bowery Saloons to Cocktail Bars in New York City (Princeton University Press, 2014), about growth policies, nightlife, and conflict in gentrified neighborhoods.

Today, another in our occasional series, Midday on Higher Education in which we sit down with the presidents of colleges and universities throughout the state. Tom's guest is Dr. Debra McCurdy, president of Baltimore City Community College, a State-sponsored community college located in Baltimore's Park Heights neighborhood. Dr. McCurdy took the reigns at Baltimore Community College in May of 2019. Before coming to BCCC, she served for 11 years as the Rhodes Stage College president in Lima, Ohio. During her more than 30 years in higher education, Dr. McCurdy has held administrative posts at Georgia Perimeter College, Clark Atlanta University, Paul Quinn College in Texas, and Brandeis University in Massachusetts.
Brandon Scott is a “son of Baltimore.” Born and raised in Park Heights, Scott says he was drawn to run for public office in the city when he was a child and watched the world descend on his neighborhood for a horse race once a year, when every other day he and his friends and family struggled for basic needs, like heat or AC in their schools. “It changes you,” Scott said. And now, Scott, Baltimore's youngest mayor in more than a century, will helm a city in the midst of great change. Former Mayor Catherine Pugh left city hall in scandal a year-and-a-half ago. In the wake, the city council and Scott proposed a series of governmental reforms, all overwhelmingly approved by voters at the polls. Maryland Matters' Bennett Leckrone caught up with Scott about his win and plans for governing earlier this week. We also check in with Maryland Matters Editor Josh Kurtz about the news of the week, including other election outcomes, Maryland Republicans' attitudes on the presidential race, what the 2021 General Assembly session will look like, the loss of another top public health official in state government, and, on a lighter note on this Friday the 13th, a tally of the fate so-called unlucky bill numbers.
Brandon was elected President of the City Council by his fellow council members last year when then Council President Jack Young became Mayor after Catherine Pugh’s fall from grace. He was first elected to the Council in 2011 to represent the 2nd District. Before that, he worked in the office of then Council President Stephanie Rawlings Blake as her representative in Northeast Baltimore. In 2018, Jim Shea picked Mr. Scott as his running mate in their unsuccessful bid in the Democratic Gubernatorial primary. Council President Scott fended off a crowded field of challengers for his party’s nomination, including former mayor Shelia Dixon. Brandon Scott is 36 years old. He grew up in Park Heights, where his parents and family still live. He lives in the Frankford neighborhood in North East Baltimore.
My guest is the Republican candidate for Baltimore City Council President, Jovani Patterson. He is a cybersecurity engineer and first-time candidate for elected office. Mr. Patterson was born in the Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore and raised in South Carolina. He later returned to Maryland and attended Capitol College in Laurel. Jovani Patterson has worked in IT and Cybersecurity for more than 20 years. He is also a musician who spent two years playing the drums with the Morgan State University Choir. He is 34 years old. He and his wife live with their two children in Mt. Holly. Mr. Patterson was unopposed in the Republican primary.
Depending on who you ask (and what neighborhood you're in), you're either extremely happy or extremely frustrated Brandon Scott won the Democratic primary for Baltimore City mayor. Since his first foray into local politics the Park Heights native has been written off and discredited, and feels immense pressure to perform and be the change he wants to see.

Fall officially began on September 23rd. Two weeks later, we had a record high temperature of 98 degrees. Things cooled off a bit this weekend, although we’ll likely make it back up close to 80 degrees today. The region has also been suffering for the past month through a moderate drought, which shows little sign of ending soon. But assuming real fall weather will kick in at some point, Tom checks in with our garden gurus to see what we need to think about as we finish our harvesting and planting, and prepare to put our outdoor gardens to bed for the winter.

July 19, 2019 / A 2018 Washington Post analysis of Baltimore crime data found that between 2007-2017, 65 percent of all homicide cases during that 10 year period were unsolved, with the highest concentration in northwest Baltimore around Park Heights. The murder of Kevin Jones would very likely be one of those unsolved cases, if not for two things. Five hours after Jones was murdered, a half-mile down the road, Keith Davis Jr. was shot in the face by Baltimore Police. And by then, Homicide Detective Mark Veney was on the case.

Will the Preakness remain in Baltimore? It’s the question on the minds of many as we head into the 144th running of the Preakness Stakes this weekend. Much of the debate centers around rebuilding the area around the track. That, of course, means money. Many say it can be done, but keeping the race here means a lot of money to the Pimlico area of Park Heights.

We are just a week away now from the Maryland and Baltimore City primary elections, and all this week we are taking time to bring the people of Baltimore interviews with candidates for City Council. Today conversations with candidates for two City Council districts -- District 6 and District 8, both on the west side of town.In this podcast:1:28: First, District 6, which runs from Roland Park to Forest Park and includes Ashburton, Park Heights and Pimlico. The incumbent city council member, Sharon Green Middleton, never responded to our invitation to the podcast. So today we’ll hear from Mark Hughes, a career educator who challenged Middleton in 2011. He lost that election but is running again, he says, because little has improved in the 6th District over the last five years.Helen Holton represents Baltimore’s 8th District in City Council.

200 mord per år - i en stad stor som Göteborg. I den tredje och sista delen i Kalibers granskning av ungdomskriminalitet reser Kaliber från ett Sverige med ökande gängkriminalitet till gängvåldets huvudstad Baltimore för att söka svar på hur vi kan undvika att gå samma väg som de. SPRINGPOJKARNA 3 – BALTIMORE Mord är vardagsmat, sjuåringar med i gäng och kriminaliteten har tagit över hela stadsdelar. Kaliber reser från ett Sverige med ökande gängkriminalitet till gängvåldets huvudstad Baltimore - för att söka svar på hur vi kan undvika att gå samma väg som de. Vi går omkring på Greenmount Avenue i Baltimore, USA, och James MacArthur berättar om ett av flera dödsskjutningar här. En ung man kom ut från den koreanska take awaykuren när de började jaga honom upp för gatan medan de sköt honom i ryggen. Det var mitt på dagen på en lördag och fullt med barn här på gatan. De hann ifatt honom här vid bensinmacken. James har bott här i området i tio år och han beskriver gatan vi står på som en ”drogartär” som spränger genom det här knark- och gängtäta området, så det brukar bli strid om affärerna här. Polisbilar krypkör hela tiden gatan upp och ned – med saftblandarna långsamt blinkande – för att visa sin närvaro. Det har gjort att den öppna droghandeln flyttat till sidogator. En liten bit upp på gatan sköts en kille nån dag före, totalt har det skett åtta mord senaste veckan 90 hittills detta år. Det är början av juni och redan klibbigt hett här, varmare och fuktigare blir det under sommaren. Vi stöter ihop med en restaurangägare James känner som konstaterar att våldet eskalerar i värmen. Vi lämnar Greenmount avenue. Jag åker runt med journalisten Stephen Janis som rapporterat om Baltimores kriminalitet i många år. Vi kör genom områden där det ser bedrägligt lugnt ut. Men där två män skjutits ihjäl på morgonkvisten. Lokaltidningen pratar med en kvinna här som stod och tvättade blod från trottoaren. Det skulle vara husvisning i området den här dagen nämligen. Det är ett stort problem i Baltimore att så många hus överges för att de boende flyr undan våldet. Det är jättemycket igenbommade hus, folk som har flyttat här ifrån helt enkelt. Otroligt mycket övergivna hus. Och så kyrkor, folk som är ute och går, allt är lågt byggt. På vägen mot down town passerar vi områden där kriminaltv-serien The Wire utspelades. Men – höghusområdena och ”The pit” där småkillar ömsom dealade med knark och sköt varann har jämnats med marken nu. Serien baserades på verkliga problem i stan och till stans politikers förtret har namnet Baltimore blivit synonymt med mord och gängkriminalitet. Det är just därför vi har åkt hit. Jag sitter i bilen med Stephen Janis för att få perspektiv på situationen i Sverige. Kaliber har ju berättat att unga från 11-årsåldern används som ”springpojkar” av äldre kriminella i stora delar av Sverige. De förvarar knark och skjutvapen och bränner bilar på beställning t ex. Ingen vet hur många springpojkarna är – och polisen har svårt att få koll på dem. Vi har också kunnat visa att succébilden av regeringssatsningen mot rekrytering till kriminella nätverk vilade på bristfällig utvärdering och felaktiga siffror. Och att projektet i en pilotfas nådde ett drygt 90-tal med varierande resultat – av uppskattningsvis 5000 unga som riskerar rekryteras in i gängkriminalitet. Och även om det finns skillnader mellan hur det fungerar här så har svenska gäng enligt forskning också likheter med amerikanska. Samtidigt som problemen har ökat hemma hos oss de senaste åren, så är problemet här på en nivå när man har goda chanser att stävja utvecklingen. Situationen i Europa jämförs med gängsituationen i USA på 1940- och 50-talen. Vi gör först ett snabbt stopp i Inner harbour, hamnen i centrala stan. Baltimore några timmar från New York på USA:s östkust - har två helt olika ansikten: här finns välrenommerade universitet, toppsjukhus och miljontals turister kommer hit för förkovra sig i amerikansk historia. Samtidigt brottas man med stora sociala problem som kommer av arbetslöshet, drogmissbruk och fattigdom. Flera industrier har lagt ner, samtidigt har heroin flödat in sen 90-talet. Stan har dryga 600 000 invånare, ungefär som Göteborg, och ändå sker har 2-300 mord om året. I hela Sverige dör under hundra varje år av dödligt våld. Vi rör oss runt bukten Inner harbour för nästa anhalt till den särskilda ungdomsarrest som finns här i Baltimore. Alla unga – gängmedlemmar och andra - som grips för brott förs hit och Sgt Louis Hopson och hans personal möter upp med fast hand. Han hade just fyllt sju år. Han var pytteliten, så liten att fötterna inte nådde ned till golvet, utan dinglade i luften när han satt på stolen här i arresten. Sgt hopson jobbade den här kvällen – och såg till att handfängslet direkt togs av honom. Sjuåriga Gerard Mungo hade suttit på sin pappas elektriska moped utanför huset – när han greps av polisen. Enligt Hopson var den avstängd och bakgrunden att polisen gjorde det för att de egentligen ville gripa mamman men inte hade något lagligt skäl. Nyheten om ingripandet spred sig som en löpeld i stan och folk kom till arresten. Han var så ung att han inte skulle kunna förstå konceptet med brott, suckar Hopson, han fick snabbt släppa honom. Men historien om den sjuårige pojken i arresten spred sig viralt i media utanför delstatsgränserna. Det har nog kommit in andra som har varit ungefär samma ålder, men jag drar nog gränsen vid de som har blöjor i alla fall, säger Hopson. Fallet med Gerard Mungo visar också på den allvarliga förtroendeklyfta och rivalitet som finns mellan Baltimorebor och polisen här, säger Hopson. I Sverige är det 15-årsgräns för att sättas i arrestcell när man väl kommer till polishuset. Här kommer ungdomarna in med handlederna fängslade med vitt buntband. Den här cellen skäms jag nästan för att berätta om, säger han. Cellen är för 9-13 åringar. Det kommer in många såna, ofta för sexbrott och poliserna här försöker hålla ett öga på dem dygnet runt och ser till så att de inte skadar sig och tar ut dem då och då. Vi går igenom arresten: I de små cellerna står killarna upptryckta mot glaset, det kanske är för att de hör att vi kommer och hoppas bli släppta. Här finns en kille med blont ganska långt hår, han ser ut att vara 12-13. Det visar sig sen att han höll på att skjuta ihjäl sin mormor när han sköt genom golvet hemma och träffade fåtöljkarmen där hon satt. Sen knark, knark, väpnat rån - han slog en kvinna i ansiktet och stal hennes telefon. Den pojken står med smala axlar och armarna innanför t-shirten och ser orolig ut. Cellerna har toastol, handfat och en bänk av rostfritt stål o de är från drygt två till knappt sex kvadratmeter stora. Totalt finns oftast 9-10 barn och unga här. Så fort några går kommer nya in säger Hopson, dygnet runt. I cellerna finns kameror och barnen och ungdomarna övervakas hela tiden via monitorer. Vi går in i Hopsons lilla kontor – bland fotona i bokhyllan finns Obama, Mohammed Ali – och bordsfläkten surrar. Han har jobbat som mordutredare och knarkspanare förr, sen några år håller han till här. Sgt Hopsons grundtes är att hårda tag från rättsväsendets sida förvärrat – om inte skapat – gängproblemet här i Baltimore. Ungdomsarresten brukar ibland kallas för the ”baby booking” – men han gillar inte alls det. Han menar att kallar man det för baby booking, så blir det stället där barn kriminaliseras. Han – som själv är polis och föreståndare för en ungdomsarrest - tycker att för många barn och unga grips - det måste finnas bättre sätt. Man låser in ungdomar för allt mellan himmel och jord, säger han. Ofta mindre och vaga förbrytelser enligt lokala föreskrifter i stan – som förargelseväckande beteende och ”conspiracy” – konspirerande till att göra vadå – säger han. Han menar att härstammar från gamla tiders slavlagar – upprättade för att kontrollera människor. Vad det leder till är att ungdomar kriminaliseras och med ett brottsregister stoppas de från att få jobb och stipendier sen. Det blir en ond cirkel som leder till mer och grövre brott. Systemet gör Sgt Hopson arg – nån måste bryta cirkeln säger han. Bakgrunden till Baltimores stora problem med ungdomskriminalitet ser han i segregationen – nästan två tredjedelar av befolkningen är här har afroamerikanska rötter och bland dem finns många av stans fattiga. För de fattiga barnen blir det som att se in i en akvarium när de åker ner till stan - de som har och inte har. Vi måste ha jobb till de här ungdomarna, annars kommer de hitta det på drogmarknaden säger han. Och det börjar tidigt, han ser 12-13-åringar som begår skjutningar och rån. Kalibers kartläggning av problemet med springpojkar visar att i Sverige börjar en del göra tjänster i 11-årsåldern. Här i Baltimore kan man gå med i gäng redan som 7-8-åring, berättar Sgt Hopson. De rekryteras lätt. De vill ha mat trygghet. Jag säger det till min personal – ”glöm aldrig att ni har med barn att göra”. Vad ska vi göra då för att inte hamna i det här frågar jag honom? Använd oss inte som förebild, USA som fängslar flest människor i världen, unga med, säger han. Det är en tillfällig lösning som inte tar hänsyn till de bakomliggande problemen. Lösningen finns i utbildning och få folk att förstå vilka de är – lära sig historia. Innan vi ska gå kommer ett nytt gäng med ungdomar in. De skrattar och tjoar och ser inte särskilt tagna ut av stundens allvar. Det visar sig att de stoppats i en stulen bil, alla sju. Hos knarkarna på gatuhörnen kan man köpa en stulen bil för 30-40 dollar, under tre hundra kronor. Du kan förresten köpa vadsomhelst där – ett barn om du vill - säger han. Ungdomarna skrattar och stojar – än så länge. Hopson har lättare att hålla sig för skratt. Det här kan förstöra deras framtid säger han. Men ikväll ska han göra allt han kan för att få in dem någon åtgärd som gör att de slipper åtal och en dom i belastningsregistret. Vi kör en sväng upp från arresten mot Lower Park Heights. Ett slitet område med rader av övergivna hus och igenbommade affärer. Nästan allt är stängt – skoaffären, chineese wok, barnershop. Det som är öppet är pantbanken. På en sidogata där unga killar, så kallade corner boys, står och säljer knark helt öppet. Baltimore har varit en stor inkörsport för heroin sen 90-talet. Enligt uppskattningar ska det finnas 60 000 narkotikamissbrukare i Baltimore. Motsvarande var tionde invånare alltså. Det blir också tydligt när jag pratar med folk på stan jag möter – hur våldet verkar beröra de flesta vanliga människor i stan. Mannen i souvenirbutiken i Inner harbour stannar i minnet, han som var från en annan del av landet och intet ont anandes råkade flytta in i ett hus – där de lokala knarkhandlarna höll till på hans veranda och inte var det minsta intresserade av att flytta sin verksamhet. Nästa stopp på vår road trip är ”city hall”, stadshuset – mäktigt med vita kolonner på utsidan, tänk dig en miniversion av capitolium i Washington, men rätt så åldrat på insidan. Här har det lagts mycket tid åt att grubbla över problemet med ungdomar som dras in i gängkriminalitet under årens lopp. De har ingen som sätter värde i dem, de måste göra det för att äta, få kläder. Ibland uppmuntrar föräldrarna det. Det säger lokalpolitikern Brandon Scott, som är demokrat och jobbar mycket med frågor om bland annat ungdomsbrottslighet i Baltimore. Han är själv uppvuxen i lower Park Heights, där vi just körde igenom och representerar den väljarkåren. Nu är han 29. Om du ser till mig – så växte jag upp i ett av de värsta områdena under en av de mest våldsamma perioderna, berättar han. Han hade en trygg familj, far duktig på sport och hade läshuvud. För vissa kompisar gick det sämre berättar han. Baltimore har varit som ett stort experiment med vad som händer med helt olika kriminalpolitik. För att hantera kriminaliteten satsades under 00-talet på nolltolerans, genom att gripa man människor för mindre allvarliga brott, skulle även grövre brott förebyggas. Det funkade inte alls menar Brandon Scott. Nåt år gjordes omkring 100 000 gripanden i en stad med drygt 600 000 invånare. Sen ändrades politiken och man har jobbat mer riktat mot de grövsta brottslingarna. Man har fått bättre koll på ungdomsbrottsligheten efter nolltoleransen säger han, det har också satsas mer på insatser för ungdomar och familjer, på skolan. Han brukar ta sig själv som exempel när han träffar ungdomar i utsatta områden. Att oavsett vad tv-serien The wire säger – så kan ni komma från ett tufft område – och komma så långt som jag gjort. Mycket handlar om att belöna ett bra beteende – att ge stipendier till dem som presterar bra i skolan. Att ordna filmvisningar på sommarkvällar för att hålla ungdomarna borta från personer med dåligt inflytande. Det största misstaget man gjort i Baltimore är att inte vilja se problemet med ungdomar som dras till gäng, säger han. Men också att man jobbat fel mot gängen, tycker Brandon Scott. fokuserat på kriget mot droger i USA. I skuggan av det har gängen kunnat sprida sig. Istället för att ersätta gängen med positiva satsningar från regeringen och lokalsamhället. Det finns forskning som bekräftar den bilden – att gängexplosionen i USA föregicks av att man förnekade gängproblemets existens och omfattning. Vad säger det om situationen i Sverige undrar jag där jag sitter med Brandon Scott i City hall. Den kartläggning vi på Kaliber gjort av fenomenet 11-åringar och uppåt som gör kriminellas grovjobb visade att dessa unga löper stor risk att rekryteras till gäng och att det finns brister i vilken koll polisen har på det här. Han vill hellre prata om hur vi kan lära av det som varit lyckat i arbetet mot ungdomskriminalitet. Hur de jobbat mot gäng. Men också program för avhoppare, hur vi gör efterskolanaktiviteter, sport är ett viktigt sätt att få folk hålla sig borta från brott. Man ska angripa det här ur ett helhetsperspektiv. Vi rullar vidare till en ombyggd industribyggnad där stödprojektet the Intersection håller till. Dawnya johnson är 16 år. När hon var 14 tänkte hon gå med i samma gäng som kusinen, the crips. Mamman är narkoman, pappan satt i fängelse så hon tydde sig till honom. Men han blev ihjälskjuten – och för bara några månader sen stötte Dawnya på det här projektet via skolan – och bytte spår. Även om vi varit i såna områden och hört berättelserna hela tiden här – så känns det lätt overkligt när vi sitter i projektledarens kontor med dörren stängd ut mot verkligheten att den här goa och vältaliga tjejen pratar om att gå med i gäng som det naturligaste i världen. Det är ett projekt där mentorer hjälper unga med tuff uppväxt genom highschool. Samtidigt jobbar gruppen förebyggande mot samhällsproblem i stan som de själva känner starkt för, just nu en kampanj mot ”gun violence” – våld genom skjutvapen. 16-åriga Taikira White vill helst se framåt nu, men även hon har en tuff uppväxt i baggaget, familjen var hemlös i perioder. I hennes klass i skolan var tio personer med i gäng redan som 9-10-åringar berättar hon. Gängen ger skydd, pengar, du slipper svälta och kan betala räkningar så du kan ha en bostad förklarar hon men det kostar också, när som helst dör någon nära eller du själv. Men hon ska bryta cirkeln, berättar hon. Vi på Kaliber har berättat om hur ungdomar i Sverige själva söker sig till gäng för att de vill ha pengar till prylar eller droger, men också att man söker status och gemenskap. Här i USA kan gängmedlemskap ärvas i släkten. Fattigdomen här i Baltimore är så påtaglig att gänget alltså kan vara en nödvändig utväg för att få mat och husrum. Men det har också mycket med förväntningarna på unga att göra säger de. Jag har levt i misslyckande – ingen sa att jag var bra på nåt alls – jag blev som det som förväntades av mig, säger Dawnya. Nu har hon förstått att hon kan klara av nästan vad som helst: både skriva och hålla tal, och hon vill hon plugga statskunskap och senare juridik. Flera av de vuxna vi pratat med har varit inne på att det är fel att fängsla barn och ungdomar. Taikira håller helt med. Istället för att låsa in folk – ge dem nåt konstruktivt att göra, ge dem en mentor, som vi har här. Ge dem nåt att vara stolt över. Det finns en inställning att Baltimorekids är dåliga. Men hur vet de det? – vem har ens pratat med oss? Samtidigt blir att vara våldsam och otrevlig är enda sättet att synas säger hon. Taikira blir glad när vi frågar henne vad orsakerna till gäng och ungdomsvåld är här. Hon har tänkt mycket på hur våldet normaliserades i området hon växte upp i. Det är vardagsmat, kommer alltid hända. Så tänker folk. Det är viktigt att ändra folks mentalitet – att få dem att förstå att det finns nåt mer i livet än att dö. Det finns inte bara en orsak till att det är så mycket våld – det är så mycket. Men hon och Dawnya nöjer sig inte med att försöka väcka områdena de själva kommer från. Genom antivåldskampanjen de gör med the Intersection nu håller de tal för beslutsfattare, träffar polismästaren, går ut i media. Nu har de för första gången i livet känt hur de kan göra nytta. Och innan vi går skickar Dawnya med att det är viktigt att vara uthållig i insatser för unga, att de kan känna att de har nåt att hålla fast vid, som inte är gänget, nåt pålitligt, som påminner lite om en familj. För många barn här är vana vid att inte kunna lita på saker och människor omkring dem, så det här kan betyda hela skillnaden. Vi lämnar tjejerna på the Intersection, som ju betyder vägkorsning, Dawnya och Taikira som var inne på samma sak som flera andra här i stan: man måste våga se problemen för att börja bearbeta orsakerna till gängexplosionen bland barn och unga. Och samtidigt har vi på Kaliber kunnat visa att barn över stora delar av Sverige dras till gängkriminalitet, dras in i en kriminell livsstil av äldre. Och hur polisen tycker det är svårt att ha koll på dem. Hur den största regeringssatsningen som gjorts mot det här hittills – nått långt ifrån alla. Vi är tillbaka hos James MacArthur vid Greenmount avenue. Ett område som haft dåligt rykte så länge någon minns. Jag frågar hur han trivs här? Jodå folk är trevliga och det finns viss sammanhållning säger han. Exempelvis har folk gemensamt samlat ihop bidrag för att öppna brandstationen här igen när stan stängde den för att spara pengar. Men – det är också så att han investerat i ett hus när han flyttade hit. Han trodde att det skulle lugna sig i området. Det har det ju inte gjort än så säljer han nu – gör han en stor förlust. Han har helt enkelt inte råd att flytta. Nån snabb eller enkel lösning ut ur våldet och ungdomsgängen i Baltimore finns inte. Hur man har kommit hit är enklare att se menar han. Bakgrunden finns i ekonomin, arbetslösheten, drogmissbruket, vilket ger att unga söker sig till gäng och blir föräldrar i unga år. Han liknar det vid att stan är full av mygg. Alla försöker vifta bort dem. Men ingen vill prata om att stan är byggt på ett träsk. Så länge man inte vill se problemen och inte pratar om dem – kommer inga stora förbättringar att kunna ske, menar han. Vad tycker han vi ska akta oss för i Sverige? Ekonomi har mycket att göra med gängs födelse menar James MacArthur. Han ser hur medelklassen flyr stan och det skattefinansierade skolsystemet fallerat samtidigt som gängen rekryterar mer än nånsin. När samhällets basfundament börjar krackelera – utvecklas ett alternativ. Allt du ser här i Baltimore är gräsrotsalternativ som utvecklas, säger han, även män med belastningsregister har familjer vars munnar måste mättas – och då säljer man droger. De skapar jobb för att de inte kan få jobb, de har bara en förälder och hittar familj i gänget. Reporter: Kina Pohjanen Producent: Lisa Helgesson Exekutiv producent: Eskil Larsson
