As police leaders, prosecutors and crime survivors, we struggle every day against crime and its devastating impact. We are determined to see that dangerous criminals are arrested and put behind bars. But policing and prosecution alone leave us stuck on a treadmill, with more kids becoming criminals to replace those we lock up. There is no substitute for tough law enforcement. But neither is there any excuse for failing to invest today in the programs we know can prevent crime tomorrow. That's why over 3,000 law enforcement leaders and crime survivors have come together to form Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, a national non-profit with state offices in California, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
