Underprivileged children are often victims of criminal activity due to lack of resources. Investing in youth music programs is more cost effective than dealing with criminal costs later, as programs have shown to positively impact youth in communities. Music can help underprivileged children in positive ways and prevent criminal behavior.

18. Main
Points
•
1)
Underprivileged
children
are
falling
victim
to
crime
due
too
the
lack
of
resources
available
to
them.
• 2)
It
more
cost
effective
to
put
money
towards
preventative
measures
than
it
is
to
house
them
as
criminals.
• 3)
This
has
been
proving
through
programs
that
exist
for
some
of
these
children
today.
