How education has been linked to a reduction in criminality Uniting and Healing Through Hope of Monroe County is known for focusing on reducing community violence through programming and opportunity. Research has linked an improvement in the lives of youth to education. In this study from Mathematica, researchers found that, "Students’ interest in school activities (school engagement) increases their participation in school activities and motivation to attend and remain enrolled in school—reducing risky behaviors and increasing learning and educational attainment, improving employment and earnings, and reducing violence and crime." In another study from Global Partnership for Education, it connected community "peace" to areas that tend to invest more time, money and resources into education.
