Rising Juvenile Violence in Florida: Root Cause and Recent Arrests.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods attributes the rise in violence among juveniles to the degradation of American institutions, including family, schools, and society. Woods called for accountability for children who commit violent crimes and emphasized the need for parents and schools to take responsibility in raising children. He also highlighted the issue of "wannabe gangs" and the need to address it. Woods and Jack Brewer, the Jack Brewer Foundation founder, agreed that holding schools accountable and returning to foundational values are practical solutions to the issue.
