In Broward County, churches are "adopting" young criminals, hoping to reform them.

"We intend to retake our community."

Lock their parents up. Buy their guns. In Florida, the increasing number of violent crimes committed by youths has generated a slew of drastic proposals. Critics warn "the state of fear" could be transformed into a state of siege for teens; others see the changes as vital. "People realize that extreme measures are needed to get back control," said Dade County Commissioner James Burke, who last week gained initial passage of a teen curfew for the Miami area.

Burke's crusade became personal last month when he and his wife were held up by an armed teen who stole their car. Burke also proposed neighborhood patrols by non-police county employees and prosecuting parents of repeat curfew violators. He said the main goal of the curfew, set for a final vote Jan. 18, is to force parents to take responsibility for their children. Not everyone buys the idea.

"You don't take away the rights of an entire group of people," said Ro-byn Blumner, state director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Other studies have yielded conflicting results. Since 1980, the Food and Drug Administration has recommended that pregnant women cut down on caffeine, authors of the new study noted. That recommendation was based on animal studies, but most doctors probably advise their patients along those lines, they said.

Dr. Richard P. Leavitt, director of science information for the March of Dimes, which was not involved in the study, said, "Any drug that crosses the placenta, as caffeine does, may be regarded as possibly hazardous, especially during the first three months of pregnancy." WEDNESDAY See Friday's Entertainment Guide for complete listings. OEIko Spring Creek Cable Carlin CHICAGO (AP) Adding to the wealth of conflicting data about caffeine, researchers said Wednesday that women who drink as little as half a cup of icoffee a day right be--fore or during pregnancy may raise their risk of miscarriage. The researchers, led by Dr.

Claire Infante-Rivard of McGill University in Montreal, compared 331 women who had miscarried with 993 who had experienced normal pregnancies. Consuming as little as 48 milligrams of caffeine about the amount in half a cup of coffee a day during the month before conceiving appeared to boost the miscarriage risk by 29 percent. Consuming the same amount during pregnancy boosted the risk by 15 percent. Each additional 100 milligrams of caffeine daily boosted the risk an additional 22 percent the researchers said. That is about the amount of caffeine in eight ounces of coffee, 15 ounces of tea or eight to 15 ounces of soft drinks containing caffeine.

It also is found in many over-the-counter pain remedies. "A reasonable recommendation would be to reduce consumption of caffeine beverages during pregnancy," the researchers wrote in the Metal prices NEW YORK (AP) Spot nonferr-ous metal prices Wednesday."
