As a parent, one of your primary concerns is your child's safety. While some dangers--a hot stove, traffic or an electrical outlet--seem easy to explain, dangers that involve violence may seem more difficult to talk about. You may be afraid that you will frighten your child. You may not know how to explain violence, or where to start. You may also not want to recognize that your child could become a victim of a crime.

School Crime: K-12
Our nation's schools, once a protected haven for learning and growth, are no longer safe for teachers or students in many of our nation's communities.

School-Based Victim Services
School crime and violence have reached alarming proportions across the country, causing concerns among victims, their families and educators. The creation of school-based victim service programs is proving to be an effective first step towards assisting victims, as well as developing crime prevention programs.

Violence Involving Youth
Violence committed against and committed by
the youth of America is a serious problem. The victimization of youth ranges from child
abuse, child sexual abuse, gang violence and youth-on-youth attacks to hate violence, rape
and murder. In alarming rates, young people are turning to violence to resolve their
problems and to criminal activity as a lifestyle choice. There are many theories about
this type of violence. Some theorists suggest that children learn from their environment--
be it the influence of a crime filled neighborhood, an abusive home, or an isolated rural
area where support services are minimal.
