PREVENT
YOUNG PEOPLE FROM LEADING A LIFE OF CRIME
​
We implement a prevention and early intervention Anti-Youth Crime Service by providing a targeted programme for 'at risk' and vulnerable young members of the community. We apply strategies to deter young people from entering into a life of violence, gang association & drug related crimes which could result in serious injury, death or imprisonment and ultimately destroy the health & well-being of extended family members, friends and the wider community. We provide the tools to guide them towards alternative ways to prosper and living as law-abiding citizens.
