§ Mr. John PattenAttacks on young children are particularly abhorrent. It is important that parents and 759W others with responsibility for the welfare of young children know how best to advise them on reducing the risks of being attacked or molested. Such advice, which deals with the threat from people known to the potential victim as well as from strangers, is contained in the crime prevention handbook, "Practical Ways to Crack Crime". Since its launch in March this year more than 1.5 million copies of the handbook have been distributed. A revised edition will be published shortly.
