You can make believe a kid you know won't die from violence. Programs like after-school activities, job training and drug counseling, are working to keep kids away from crime and crime away from kids. But, they won't work without support from you and your community. A public service message from McGruff, the Crime Prevention Coalition of America, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Ad Council. The sounds kids are hearing are different because more of US are hearing the message.
Less crime is no accident.
It takes people like you and me, and programs that work. After-school activities, mentoring, job training, drug counseling. These and other programs are working to keep kids away from crime and crime away from kids. That's why today fewer kids are involved in violent crime. But these programs won't work without support from us and our communities.
