GUN VIOLENCE-PREVENT

Summary

The resolution calls on the Illinois State Board of Education to identify, publish and make available proven decision‑making and impulse‑control curricula for schools, and asks the courts, juvenile‑justice and human‑services agencies to use similar programs for youth under supervision. It seeks to lower gun‑related homicide by teaching skills that help young people avoid violent choices, especially in communities hit hardest by the crisis. The measure also honors researcher Jens Ludwig for his work on behavioral approaches to violence prevention.
