"You use technology – like the Internet and social networking sites – to make new friends, to stay connected with old ones. And many of you think that what you do on the Net is private – that people like family members and teachers can’t see what you’re doing – and you’re wrong! Check out the rest of this web site to learn about how people can capture information about you that’s online and use it for their own purposes. You can also learn how to protect your information so it can’t be used without you knowing about it!"

SafeState: Internet Safety for Children
Our vision is a California whose communities and leaders understand the benefits of crime prevention. We search for the most effective practices to address the underlying causes of violence, and assist law enforcement and communities throughout California to create a violence-free state.
The Crime and Violence Prevention Center functions as part of the Attorney General's Criminal Law Division. We pursue our vision of a crime and violence-free California through many means. Our programs are directed at children, families, schools, law enforcement, local government and communities. We co-administer grant programs for school community prevention strategies.
"As of October 15, 2008, the Crime and Violence Prevention Center within the California Attorney General's Office is unfortunately no longer in operation. The Legislature voted to eliminate the Center from the state's 2008/09 budget. As a result, the Center has closed its doors. The information on this web site will remain intact for awhile; however, it may not contain updated material, statistics or source documentation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
