Youth Crime – combating the issue

Although there are many excellent programmes introduced to help industries combat community youth crime, many of them unfortunately are designed and operated in isolation from each other.

The ethos behind CPS is to create a unified approach in tackling youth crime, thus dramatically reducing organisational costs. A unified approach increases the effectiveness of the youth crime strategy and most importantly generates greater sustainable results.

Strategies created for companies such as Northern Rail, the UK’ s largest train operating company, have seen youth crime on its network reduced by over 32% in the first year and a further 16% in the second year. Anti-social behaviour incidents involving company staff also saw a decrease of over 74% in specific areas.
