Question

the federal government gives money to a community to try to reduce the impact of gang violence. how can the community use this money most effectively?
by increasing funding for fire and medical response
by creating grants for businesses struggling to stay open
by giving money to individual families who live in the community
by increasing salaries for personnel at poorly performing schools

Explanation:

To reduce gang violence, addressing the root causes like improving education (by increasing salaries to attract better staff to poorly performing schools) can help. Fire/medical response is reactive, business grants and family money don't directly target gang violence causes. Better schools can reduce youth involvement in gangs.

Answer:

D. by increasing salaries for personnel at poorly performing schools
