"In order to avoid stigmatizing children with the label of potential criminal, Dr. Klein says test takers aren't told that the questions are intended to screen for future gang involvement."<p>How does that avoid anything of the sort? Maybe it avoids their peers from knowing, but I'd be more concerned with what law enforcement is doing with the info. Are they going to officially call the new unit the department of pre-crime?
