'What I found astounding was that the WAVE research showed that early years either prepared people to be violent or helped to steer then away from violence. The rigour of the WAVE research stiffened my resolve to put my neck out and advocate a category shift in how we treat the earliest years of life. This was later summarised in my report “How Small Children Make A Big Difference.'
