Violence Intervention Program

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is considering creating a “family justice center” to assist children in the county who have been involved with the foster care and juvenile justice systems as well others affected by domestic, sexual and interpersonal violence.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday on a motion that would provide girls in the county’s system of juvenile detention camps with greater access to better personal hygiene items, an issue that was brought to light in a report from the Violence Intervention Program (VIP).
