Show Agencies,' individuals work to control violence Dear Editor: Each year more of our young people must deal with violence in their daily lives. There are creative solutions. Not one, but many. The problem of violence is everybodys problem; and it is the responsibility of each of us to do something about it. There are several successful programs in our communities, schools and churches. There is a collaborative effort by many churches, groups, agencies, schools, law enforcement and individuals, including many young people who are making a difference, but it takes the whole community to raise a child. Abuse, drugs and alcohol are deadly ingredients for violence. The American Psychological Association tracked origins of violence to parental rejection and harsh physical discipline. Children learn violence at home. The lessons are reinforced by the glorification of violence on TV, movies and books which often treat violence, cruelty, and death as entertainment for profit. There is so much we can do. We can make sure young offenders understand that wrongful behavior has immediate consequences. We can employ measures that teach kids to think beyond the violent act. We can help young people learn how to manage anger and to negotiate solutions to disputes in ways that do not involve intimidation and weapons. We can organize. Neighbors can cut out crime in their own ampete Life EPHRAI- communities through collaboration and parents can set up informal co-oto help each other raise their children. We can invest our public and private resources in rebuilding moral and economically thriving communities. If children cannot live i.i peaceable neighborhoods, attend good schools and find good paying jobs, the crisis of violence will continue. Easy? Not at all. It will be far harder to control violence than it was to contain communism. It took 40 years and $4 trillion to win the Cold War. But violence threatens our freedom more directly than communism ever did, and we must win this struggle, too. We will have to wage it on many fronts simultaneously with programs of prevention and punishment, new priorities and much patience. Never doubt that an individual or small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has! Take a step now to assure that growing up is a safe journey for all children. Give a stressed parent a "brother", encourage a person who has been abused to seek help or simply reach out to a person or a family in need. It shouldnt hurt to be a child!
