Violence and Crime



Have you seen the news?
 Have you read the reviews?
 Crime has made a huge impact on children's
 psychological development
 Those who feel unsafe at school perform worse academically
 Some are even involved in drug use and delinquency
 Have you seen the news?
 Have you read the reviews?
 Crime has made children fearful
 impeding their learning and compromises
 their ability to benefit from educational opportunities

 Have you seen the news?
 Have you read the reviews?
 Violence needs to stop
 It is a cognitive distraction
 The impact of crime and violence on children has become a disruption
 A nightmare; and to a child's education an obstruction
 
Crime and violence is causing distress
If it goes on the distress might be hard to repress
