It's estimated that between 70%-90% of all crime in the U.S. is drug related, and that the
age of those involved in these crimes seems to be getting younger. D.A.R.E. is just one way
to deal with this problem before it gets to be an overwhelming issue in a community. By
giving our children "life skills" or the tools to use early on in their lives, we can give
them a better chance at building their lives. They will be making what are probably the most
important decisions of their lives when their parents aren't there to guide them. It is hoped
that they make the right choices, because they will have to live with the consequences of
those choices for the rest of their lives.
