FACTS*</B><BR>• Children exposed to violence are more likely to abuse drugs and
alcohol; suffer from depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic disorders; fail or
have difficulty in school; and become delinquent and engage in criminal
behavior.<BR>• Sixty percent of American children were exposed to violence,
crime, or abuse in their homes, schools, and communities.<BR>• Almost 40 percent
of American children were direct victims of 2 or more violent acts, and 1 in 10
were victims of violence 5 or more times.<BR>• Children are more likely to be
exposed to violence and crime than adults.<BR>• Almost 1 in 10 American children
saw one family member assault another family member, and more than 25 percent
had been exposed to family violence during their life.<BR>• A child’s exposure
to one type of violence increases the likelihood that the child will be exposed
to other types of violence and exposed multiple times.<BR><BR>*Finkelhor, D.,
