Have a Question For Us?At The Conflict Center, we recognize the importance of two-way communication and the benefit of incorporating it into our organization. Starting this month, we wish to make our method of communication interactive so that we can hear from you. In this newsletter you will find a new section titled “Ask us a Question”. This section allows you, the readers, to direct inquiries and questions to the experts here at TCC in which they will respond in the next issue. Our experts will answer one question per issue, or more if the demand is high! So the more questions you ask, the more they get answered! If you don't have a question, please feel free to leave us a comment.
Don’t hold back. Your questions and comments will help guide us to understand what you are interested in learning more about, as well as strengthen the bonds between you and us. We look forward to hearing from you!

- 6. Why Have We Incorporated A Female Specific Class?
By Kelsey HopsonThe Conflict Center’s new Female Specific curriculum was designed in response to a disturbing trend noted in juvenile justice departments nationwide over the last decade. According to a 2001 study by the American Bar Association, while the overall crime rate for juveniles has been falling since 1994, the number of girls arrested and incarcerated for drug and assault charges has more than doubled. The recidivism rate for girls has also increased by about 10 % over the past ten years.
