The Portland Formula: Family, Business, and Community

J. E. Clark

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1987, vol. 494, issue 1, 145-147

Abstract: The city of Portland recognizes that past solutions to reducing crime and violence have not worked. The innovations of the Clark administration are based on family, business, and community. Service centers provide family-like supports for high-risk youth and coordinate closely with job training and placement through one regional private industry council. The Portland police are becoming more citizen based. Top-down planning for youth employment through a leaders' round table, called Portland Investment, is being complemented with bubble-up thinking to start youth enterprises at the block level.
