According to Greg Capazorio, President of Criminon, situations like the one at Lowell are "one reason the work of Criminon volunteers is so important." According to the Criminon website, the organization's goals include, "addressing the causes of criminality and restoring the criminal's self-respect through effective drug detoxification, education and common sense programs."

More than 80 clergy, gang interventionists and law enforcement officers met at Church of Scientology L.A. Community Center on Vermont to help find ways reduce crime, drugs and gangs through education and vital social programs throughout Los Angeles—especially those areas in and around "Death Alley".
