Recently
the program has come under strong
Opposition
from some agencies that feel that DARE does not do enough to address the
concerns of our youth. The National Concerned Officers Organization believe
that if DARE saves one (1) child a year, than the program is worth its
weight in gold a we strongly support it. The fact of the matter is, DARE has
saved hundreds of kids each year..

Young teens experience a high rate of crime victimization then any other age
group, twice that of the general adult population and ten times that of the
elderly for violent crime.
Gangs and the violence they bring to communities, in the coming years will be
a major problem for America if something is not done. Young people are
many times the victims and the victimizers. According to the FBI, "the
fastest growing murder circumstance is juvenile gang killing." Almost
one-third of Los Angeles homicides are gang related. Nationwide, the rate of
violent offenses by gang members is three times as high as for non-gang
delinquents.
Converting a young person's energy to familial provider/protector efforts his
historically been the task of the intact family. An important aspect of today's
teen development is helping them learn about crime and its consequences
and involving them in addressing these problems make the young people feel
safer, reduces delinquency-related behaviors increases their self-esteem, and
enhances their ties with the community.
We have done extensive research on the below
topics and have experience tremendous success through education. Below is a list
