The law enforcement leaders of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Pennsylvania recognize that high-quality early care and education programs are an essential and impactful way to give kids the right start in life and help them avoid becoming involved in crime as they age. Research backs this up: studies show that kids from disadvantaged circumstances who attend high-quality pre-k programs are more likely to succeed in school and less likely to commit crimes as adults than similar children who do not participate in such programs.
