Thank you for being here, and thank you for the work you do.
I want to begin by saying that if we spend one minute of our time on this, one dollar of our money, and it saves one child or one youth, one woman or one man, from becoming a victim, then I think it's worth our time and our money.
I also understand the difficulty in answering some of the questions with exactitude, and the fuzziness of social science research, so when I ask the questions, I'm not expecting all of that...but this for me is such a strong issue of concern that I want to make sure that what we do is actually working. And I know you do as well.
To Ms. Campbell or Mr. Yumansky, are you aware of the work that Jim Coflin did in the department a couple of years ago?
