COMMUNITY FORUM

Gathering aims to help prevent juvenile crime

Clark County Family Court Judge William Voy will host a community forum called "Preventing Juvenile Delinquency" at 1 p.m. today at the Pearson Community Center, 1625 W. Carey Ave., North Las Vegas.

The forum will bring community groups and agencies together to identify services and programs that can assist in preventing juvenile crimes.

"Though we have made great strides in reforming the juvenile justice system over the past six years, we have not achieved significant overall decline in the number of youth committing crimes, especially among minority youth," Voy said.
