The arrest rate of girls for simple assault in 2003 was more than triple (3.5 times) the rate in 1980 (478.3 versus 129.7 per 100,000).
The Investing in Girls Alliance conducted a survey in the fall of 2008 to find out what programs for girls are being offered locally. If you know of a program that should be on this list please email info [at] investingingirls [dot] org we would be more than happy it to add to this list!
