The 126 police chiefs,sheriffs,district attorneys,other law enforcement leaders and violence survivors who are members of FIGHT CRIME:INVEST IN KIDS WASHINGTON, and the over 3,000 members of FIGHT CRIME:INVEST IN KIDS nationwide,have taken a hard-nosed look at what works-and what does not work-to cut crime and violence.Extensive evidence shows that children who suffered abuse or neglect are more likely to grow up to commit crimes.Solid research shows that nearly half of all abuse and neglect in high-risk families can now be prevented by programs that also prepare children to succeed in school. Preventing abuse and neglect will directly protect children and save lives. Sharply reducing abuse and neglect will also save the public hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington while greatly reducing the number of children growing up to be violent criminals.
