Abstract: 

Attorney General Eric Holder recently highlighted initial steps for implementing the recommendations of the National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence. In an address at the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Meeting in Washington, D.C., he identified short- and long-term strategies in four primary areas: raising public awareness; strengthening professional education and training; building knowledge through ongoing research; and increasing Department of Justice and federal coordination and capacity.
