Provide Evidence

You must provide evidence that stopping crime is important
(to the politicians themselves).

"A true friend should tell his other friend that the thing there doing is very bad.
Like if both of you go to the store and you see your friend trying to steal something
your not suppose to help him your suppose to tell him that what his doing is bad
and tell him to put the item back", by Jonathan, 16, United States , 2004

You must help increase public knowledge of the negative effects of crime, of the lies and manipulations that might seem to justify crime. Ideas:

find Kidlink kids living in countries with much criminality, or in countries where crime raltes have been reduced. Listen to their personal stories. Good stories may be of interest to your collaborators in the journalists/writers community. For example, they might combine good personal stories with dry statistics of the number of kids against crime to make a more readable text or interview or show.
monitor what your local news say about crime. Check with alternative sources to see if the news is correct, or misleading and manipulating. Contact the news media to have mistakes corrected, or complain by sending an article to your local newspaper.
help your schoolmates get a clear idea of what is happening. Your class or school magazine/newspaper may be an effective means. Do not give up. We must fight together for a better world!
