Crime Prevention
Preventing and reducing crime is something we all do together. Many young people have been dealt a bad hand and have had to overcome adverse childhood experiences, bereavements, poverty, exploitation, bullying and much more.
When we talk to young people about their personal stories our overwhelming sense is often that they have done incredibly well to survive and get to where they are. We count it a privilege to help and support them to make the best possible future for themselves - and to contribute to the lives of others.
It costs around £200,000 every time a young person ends up in a juvenile detention centre. There they will learn how to offend from other inmates and for some, a life of crime will wreck their own life and many others and cost millions to the public purse.
We don’t want to just stop the revolving door; we want to prevent young people ever walking through it.
