Earlier this week, Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said there have been 26 arrests of juveniles for violent crime since July.
"Juveniles are victimizing other juveniles, many non-fatal shooting victims and suspects were under the age of 18," Ambrose said. "At some point, we have to sit down and talk about juvenile justice, because it's not working whatever is happening now."
