Fight
Crime / Invest in Kids
In 2006 we have
been working on developing a relationship
between Fight Crime: Invest in Kids and
the KIDS COUNT Network. Fight Crime brings
to bear an important cadre of state and
local level officials and policy makers
on issues that are important to us. One
facet of the relationship building is simply
the sharing of information between Fight
Crime and KIDS COUNT.
