agreements they make with community members, including going to john school and pledging to not repeat their behavior. 14 john's have been referred to neighborhood court. so what does john school, one of the key messages is trying to do and put the building, trying to get them to understand that what they're doing is is harmful. doctor michael shipley works for the national center for exploitation. >> this nonprofit did a 3 year study commissioned by the department of justice to observe a program in san francisco and it found it to be very successful in the 10 years. leading up to this program, starting. the real fence rate for men in the city got arrested was 8.8%. >> and it really fell by nearly half the exact year. the program started and it never rebound. as doctor shipley says there are over 100 programs that are modeled after the one in san francisco.
