St. Louis Senator: We have to address the root causes of crime

The Missouri Senate is crafting legislation to address the ever-increasing crime rate, but the solutions being offered are the same ones that have been tried before and have not worked, according to Sen. Karla May, D-St. Louis.

In her latest podcast, Sen. May suggests that we are not going to successfully deal with the issue until we address the systemic problems that lead to crime, including Missouri's high poverty rate and the inability for those who have been in prison to find jobs after they are released.
