Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Youth advocates say that's just like voluntary probation -- a way to get more young people onto the department's radar and to stifle "competition" from organizations offering expertise in health and safety rather than law enforcement.
39% : Nearly $100 million in state funding that's supposed to be spent on programs to keep Los Angeles County kids out of trouble with the law is instead stuck in the Probation Department, as county lawyers and bureaucrats argue over data reporting requirements.
