"Black ministers in Boston, responding to a surge in youth violence, have launched a drive to recruit, train, and deploy 1,000 volunteers to work with at-risk young people from the city's toughest and poorest neighborhoods. The initiative, the largest undertaken since the youth crime wave of the early 1990s, aims to greatly expand the ministers' street-level involvement in fighting violence. It also seeks to revive the community-police partnership that was a key factor in the drastic reduction in the city's homicide rate from 1996 until last year."
