Legal Documents of New Market

The purpose of this chapter is to:

1. Promote the general welfare and protect the general public through the reduction of juvenile violence and crime within the city;
2. Promote the safety and well-being of minors, whose inexperience renders them particularly vulnerable to becoming participants in unlawful activity, particularly unlawful drug activity, and to being victimized by older criminals; and
3. Foster and strengthen parental responsibility for children.
