Purpose	The Senate Health and Human Resources Committee held public hearings between January and April of 2007 to allow governmental entities, human services providers and state agency personnel to share perspectives on the issue of youth gang violence intervention. Community leaders, representatives of city, county, state and federal government, community and faith based organizations, law enforcement officers, public defenders, providers and a group of children from a local middle school provided input and/or testified at the series of hearing[s]. They were asked to focus on three points: 1) whether they believed there is a problem of gang violence; 2) their awareness of resources and solutions in place to address the problem; and 3) their thoughts about the role of the state in relation to the issue. Other legislators also voiced concerns about the need to address this issue, acknowledging the different needs and conditions of each community. The general consensus is that an effective statewide strategy must acknowledge that there is no 'one size fits all' solution.";"This document summarizes the main findings and conclusions of the public hearings from the perspectives of multigenerationality, cultural competency and multi-agency solutions, and includes additional perspectives related to schools and education, community and faith based efforts, environment and state program administration.
