helping to break the cycle of violence. The primary focus of the F.O.X.O.’s “Breaking The Cycle”
Radio Dialogue is to extend discussion, increase consideration of community-driven alternatives,
and initiate and expand the collective action needed to deter, decrease and prevent the pandemic
of juvenile delinquency and adult criminality gripping Baltimore and many other communities. The
radio show provides a voice to those attempting to change their thinking and behaviors, informing
ex-offenders, their families, and others of opportunities, increasing access to strategies that work,
and exposing those that don’t. You are invited to call in to the radio program at 410-481-1010. To

connects other ex-offenders with needed resources and uses the power of peer influence to
facilitate the cognitive restructuring and personal supports needed for successful re-integration.
“In order to truly make Baltimore safer, we need to help ex-offenders become productive citizens,”
Mayor Sheila Dixon said. “Project P.E.A.C.E. is going to help a lot of people fulfill their potential
and make meaningful contributions to those around them.” The P.E.A.C.E. program addresses a
variety of social and behavioral issues confronting ex-offenders, including: short term and long
term housing, emergency shelter, transitional housing, substance abuse, parenting, GED
services, employment and job placement, financial literacy and HIV/AIDS information and
education. In addition to the 12-Step Lifeskills Workshops and services such as emergency
shelter, transitional housing, and linkage to other services, the P.E.A.C.E. project provides
individual supports from individuals who have turned around their lives and who serve as mentors
and positive role models. For additional information or referrals, call Project P.E.A.C.E. at

14. Addressing youth violence on You Tube. From the You Tube Blog, October 27, 2008: “We've
recently made a change to our flagging menu we think you should know about: We replaced the category
"minors fighting" with "youth violence." You can find it in the pull-down menu under "Violent or Repulsive
Content," and we'll still follow our usual process of reviewing all flagged videos quickly and removing
those that violate our Guidelines. The reason for this change in language is simple: We want to make it
easier for you to help us take down the increasing number of videos showing children involved in violence
of some sort, including threats and actual altercations. The "minors fighting" flag simply wasn't being used
enough, yet the number of these kinds of videos has been increasing. Now you can more easily flag
violent videos that include underage people, and we'll take it from there.” Read and learn more
