Study Links Day Care, Fewer Crimes

WASHINGTON (AP) – The best day care can keep children from getting into trouble and committing crimes later in life, research by law enforcement groups found. The report, a compilation of studies comparing children in programs in North Carolina and Chicago with other children, says youths who spent their early years in quality day care were half as likely to be arrested. Studies also found that troubled tots who didn't go to preschool and receive home visits from social workers were five times as likely to become chronic lawbreakers by age 27.

The best day care is at home with at least ONE of the parents, preferably the mother!

Provided they actually care for their children and do not consider them "accidents" or "unwanted," it does more for them staying out of trouble and being a contributing member of society than any type of substitute.

Your missing the point here. If this is true then should not the taxpayers fund daycare for all those who can not afford it? This is what they are leading to. Time to open your wallet again.

Smoke rises from my ears whenever I read the deplorable word "daycare". Daycare is nothing more than a euphemism for baby sitting.

Remmember class...all together class....what is daycare? *BABY SITTING*

More junk science. What you will see missing from this "study" (I call it "advocacy research") is any kind of multi-variate analysis. That is, what else could be associated with this?

High class daycare versus low class daycare. Hmmm. Could it be the socio-economic status of the parents? A father who is a PhD in literature with a mother who is a math teacher in school vs some lower economic class. It doesn't take a epidemiologist to figure this one out (although I are one). These guys missed this angle because they wanted to.

Why no report and comparison with intact, no daycare families?

Wouldn't want to muddy the waters, would we?
