Frequently, the Foundation cooperates with local Kiwanis Clubs and other community groups to hold giant town meetings at colleges, neighborhoods, churches, and social centers. But police officers are by definition reactive. This program enables community members to help take care of problems before they start. If kids don't feel safe because of violence at home, they form their own protective organizations, like gangs. If they don't know their neighbors care about them and look out for them, they won't respect the people around them.
Children know all too well what the world is like.
That is what our kids think of today's society. The Klaas Action Review is published quarterly for Foundation members. Dedicated to the memory of Polly Klaas, the foundation's purpose is to inform parents, children, and communities about how to prevent crimes against children through personal action and support of legislation.
