"When it comes to violence, the challenges our children face are clear. We know that over 60 percent -- regardless of race -- are exposed to some form of violence, crime, or abuse. Whether it's at home, in school, on the streets, or online, our children are witnessing and experiencing intolerable levels of violence. We also know that understanding the nature and extent of children's exposure to violence is essential to effectively combating its effects," said Acting Associate Attorney General West.
