Treat drug use as a public health issue

DARE-style programs to educate kids about drugs and violence

Using the public education system to educate students about the dynamics of violence and what to do about it is an obvious possibility. We have a widespread effort through the DARE program directed toward the issue of drug usage, but no analogous program directed towards violence. There has been some progress made with the addition of bully proofing curriculums in some school districts, but the scope and range of these programs is still very limited.
