CSUN Study Provides Data for 'Scorecard' on LA's Future
What:
When it comes to the issue of public safety and Latinos, Los Angeles County receives a "C," according to a new study by researchers at Cal State Northridge's Center for Southern California Studies.
The study is part of a new report, Latino Scorecard 2003: Grading the American Dream, to be released Thursday by the United Way of Greater Los Angeles.
