The Fox News Rundown

As President Trump continues a federal crackdown on crime, there has been a recent focus in some cities and states on juvenile crime in particular. Crimes like carjacking draw more attention to the issue. However, even lesser offenses can prompt action when they occur frequently or involve a larger number of children. We recently took a deeper dive into juvenile crime with Alex Piquero, a professor and distinguished scholar at the University of Miami who previously served as director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Professor Piquero spoke with Fox News Rundown host Lisa Brady about a study showing a recent decline in juvenile crime, why kids turn to crime, and how to prevent them from going down that path. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Professor Alex Piquero, allowing you to hear even more of his insights on how communities should address juvenile crime.
