A national organization of law enforcement officers
committed to redirecting the future of children say,
"We know, from scientific research and from our
own experience, how to dramatically reduce the chances
that today’s children will become tomorrow’s
criminals. We know that when children are protected
from abuse and neglect, when they get quality early
childhood education, adequate health care, good schools
and after-school programs, and school-to-work training
or access to college, they are far more likely to
grow into good citizens that contribute to their communities
-- and far less likely to threaten public safety".
