"Of course. In its root sense, wealth isn't a synonym for money, it's a synonym for wellness. In terms of products, you are of course fabulously wealthy, but in terms of human wealth, you are pathetically poor. in terms of human wealth, you're the wretched of the earth. And this is why you shouldn't focus on giving up things. How can you expect the wretched of the earth to give up anything? That's impossible. On the contrary, you must absolutely concentrate on getting things--but not more toasters, Julie. Not more radios. Not more television sets. Not more telephones. Not more CD players. Not more playthings. You must concentrate on getting the things you desperately need as human beings."

Violence. Research on preschool educational programs with a self-directed play component has shown reduction in overall arrests, arrests for violent crimes, property and drug crimes, and subsequent prison or jail sentences revealed in a longitudinal study tracking groups of children for 37 years. ⁸Also, the existence of play facilities in communities has been observed to reduce youth crime and vandalism.⁹

8. Only 9% of children in self-initiated play in a loosely structured pre-school environment had been arrested for a felony at ages 2223, as compared to 34% of those children in a highly directive pre-school environment where teachers rewarded them for correct answers. Furthermore, no child in the first group had ever been suspended from work, as compared to 27% of those in the later group. See Schweinhart, L. J., Montie, J., Xiang, Z., Barnett, W. S., Belfield, C. R., & Nores, M. Lifetime effects: The High/Scope Perry Preschool study through age 40. (Monographs of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation).  Ypsilanti, MI: High/Scope Press.

9. Hampshire R and Wilkinson S, Youth Shelters and Sports Systems: A good practice guide, Thames Valley Police, 1999.  See also, There is evidence that community play facilities can reduce youth crime and vandalism. For instance, projects examined by Thames Valley Police (Hampshire and Wilkinson 1999) showed significant reductions in vandalism and petty crime following the installation of play facilities and a youth shelter. The usual argument for this is that play provision provides a diversion for children, an alternative to anti-social or criminal behaviour. However the truth is likely to be more complex. Play can provide developmental opportunities for addressing some of the underlying emotional and psychological causes of suchbehaviour. Full report URL: http://www.ncb.org.uk/resources/bestplay.pdf.
