In the summer of 2017, State’s Attorney Mosby launched a series of Pop-Ups to provide free programming to youth and their families during the critical evening hours of 6-9 PM on Fridays when juvenile crime is most likely to occur. The tradition continues, even when it had to change to virtual because of the global pandemic, the #BMorePopUps continue to provide exciting opportunities for youth to engage in free programming during the critical evening hours of 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Fridays when juvenile crime is most likely to occur. In the past, youth have had the opportunity to participate in activities that range from visiting the Maryland Science Center to cruising on the Harbor aboard the Spirit Baltimore.

Providing Opportunities to Our Youth!
State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby created the only Youth and Prevention Department in the Country.
Crime Control and Prevention
Under the Mosby Administration, the Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City has made youth programming a priority through the Crime Control and Prevention (CCP) Unit by developing programs that introduce the city’s youth to the criminal justice system in hopes that they will not enter the system as a defendant. These efforts include the Junior State’s Attorney program, which employs Baltimore City ninth graders for the summer exposing them to the different components of the local criminal justice system and the Great Expectations program, a ten-month program that introduces fourth grade Baltimore City Public School children to professions within the criminal justice system. CCP also serves the young adult population through its AIM to B’More program. CCP, the only Crime Control and Prevention unit to a local prosecutorial office in Maryland, is led by a Deputy Director who manages 4 full-time staff including a Youth Coordinator, Adult Violence Prevention Coordinator, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Paralegal.
