Violence and the Child’s Burden The price which must be paid by the city which attempts the solution of community problems by violent means is almest beyond reckoning. This price can be expressed in economic terms, through individual business declines, Poorer fob oppor- turdties, and loss of new or expanded industry for the city; in medica! terms, through individual guf- fering and adverse effects on the health of citizens; in terms of loss of self-respect for both the city and individual citizen. One of the most serious consequences of vio- lence ts its effect spon the children of the community. Where parental guidance and civic leadership fail, and violence Mares, the burden of desegregation falls wpon the city’s children. They are foreed te make adjustments which, without help, often prove beyond their capacities. Lasting @motional injury is the direct result. ; .
