Nipping criminals in pre-kindergarten
By Chris Conley
Tennessee, May 18, 2006 As the number of juveniles involved in violent crimes rises,
researchers and police officials are targeting younger children for education that will keep
them off the path of crime...
Shelby County's top three law enforcement officers - Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin,
Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell, and District Attorney General Bill Gibbons - convened
Wednesday to lend their support to legislative efforts to provide that quality early
education to more kids...

to Mark Rogers, state director of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids...
"Tennessee's state legislators couldn't make a wiser investment than increasing high-quality
pre-kindergarten," said Rogers. "For every dollar invested now, Tennesseans will get less
crime, more tax savings, and a better workforce for the future."
