PBS39’s special report on youth and gang violence in the Lehigh Valley takes a closer look at the murder of a 17-year-old Allentown boy, Kareem Fedd, and several other teen homicides across the region.

The volume of violent and gang-related teen deaths started a conversation here at PBS39, leading us to ask: What is being done to stop youth violence and gang activity in our communities? To help answer that question, the series includes voices from Stop the Violence, the Easton Area Community Center, the Allentown Police Youth Division and the Lehigh County Gang Task Force.
