Increasing salaries for personnel at poorly performing schools.
Rationale: improving school quality and stability (by retaining and attracting better teachers/staff) keeps students engaged, reduces dropout and delinquency, and addresses root causes of gang recruitment. The other options (better emergency response, one-time payments to families, or business grants) may help in the short term or reduce harm but are less directly targeted at preventing youth from joining gangs.
