What can they do? Unless said crime takes place over interstate borders or violates direct federal law, the problem is one for state and local law enforcement, unless you advocate the presence of federal agents policing city streets and neighborhoods. There are programs that provide federal funding for police departments and state agencies, these funds could be looked at and reasses what they fund. I supose too that we could look to provide increased federal funding for grants to communities that run youth programs, mentoring, community centers etc. But there in no way should federal agecies ever be involved in local law enforcement.
