CALIFORNIA POLICY

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids California is a bipartisan anti-crime group led by more than 350 police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, other police leaders, and violence survivors. As leaders on the front-line in the battle against crime, our mission is to take a hard-nosed look at the research about what works to keep kids from becoming criminals. Research and experience show that certain targeted investments in programs that give kids a good start in life will prevent children from engaging in later crime and violence. These investments include quality early education and care, child abuse and neglect prevention, after-school programs, and interventions that help troubled kids get back on track.

For more information, please review our comprehensive 2008 State Legislative Agenda.
