CEO Denies Program's Halt on Chicago South Side
Harding defends a city program aimed at gang members to test whether gang structures can shift youth toward productive citizenship. Walsh testified that youths with limited schooling served as instructors for younger students, with 4 percent recruited for basic education and job training. Of 800 targeted, 254 dropped out, 83 placed in jobs, 30 quit later. about 160 remained when the program ended in May. Harding argued reclaiming hard-core youths is imperative as police and traditional programs have failed.
